There has been some speculative discussion on this blog about the sun's reasons for wearing protective eyewear. This has been going on for years, and, as I hope to illustrate with this small grid, is pretty well consistent behariour. My theory is that the sun started wearing shades in the 80s in order to show that he was a fun lovin' party dude, and has continued wearing them in order to better blend in with vacationers shopping on holiday websites. Of course the shades also subtly remind us of the sun's killer-ray-emitting powers, ensuring that we don't stop shopping for sunscreen product and UV protective eyewear of our own.
