As an aside to the eyes being gelatinous, I remember hearing/reading about ancient torture methods where they would take a red hot iron poker and gouge out the eyes. If the poker was hot enough, it would actually cause the eyes of the victim to melt before the poker reached them.
This could all be hearsay and folklore, as I have no substantiating proof, or link to at least point you to. I do see how it could happen (the melting part) though considering the consistency of our eyeballs.
ps. keep your damn needles away from my eyes!!!!!!
