Seeing polarization with the naked eye
According to "Haidinger's brush: the unknown sense", it is possible to learn how to exploit a bug in the human eye and gain the ability to see the polarization of light.

Edit: Indeed it is not only possible, but also easily tried by staring at a large white area on an LCD monitor. Incredibly cool!
