lol, yea Czymra..
i agree.

Here is an idea.. for anyone with a good digital camera...

if you want to look at the sun..
get yourself a 'floppy disc"..

and remove the black "film" from inside it...

make yourself a lens cover for your camera out of this film...

1 or two layers should be good.

you can then take pictures of the sun.

or a real sun filter for a telecope,
Im gonna get one of those so i can watch sunspots and stuff pretty soon.

but the flack 'floppy disk" film will work to a degree if you want to play around.
