Oh yeah, those were great days back then. Don't be bitter and resentful though; there comes a time in every man's life when it's time to be un-Frenched. Sure, it's a little painful at first, but then were would scientific progress be without a little suffering? As for the 'little duck-stone-cell-phone incident', that was a cracker (in more ways than one!), but I don't think you deserved the roasting you got. Call me an old boot, if you must, but was there any harm done? Didn't the little duck consent? Are we giving rights to stones and cell-phones now? Yeah, there you go. Progress?
Oh, I don't know...the clouds were dark, and everyone was dead, but hope survived...hope survived. So did sun-bathing. Well, the memory of it...

We shouldn't avoid the sun at ALL costs. Our body produces a lot of D-vitamins when the skin is exposed to UV-light...
But over-exposure, and exposure during the midday sun DOES greatly increase the risk of skin-cancer.
