Surely it's proven, like a soufflé it doesn't need a second going over? No absorption for you. Anyway tell him as it's dark, you will be delayed and won't finish.

Don't look at the solar eclipse - you may end up with super powers!
Northstar was a 1986 TV movie starring Greg Evigan. Evigan plays an astronaut called Jack North who is hit by mysterious solar radiation while photographing an eclipse during a spacewalk.
Returned to Earth, scientists find that as long as his eyes are exposed to the ultraviolet in sunlight, his mental and physical abilities are boosted to superhuman levels. More than a few minutes of exposure risks overload and death, so he needs to wear special sunglasses.

Yes, correct.

I would have retorted:

"I will treat any DOM/Lino to their Greggs for a week should they prove the effectiveness of RM's Theory Of Daily Absorption."
