When I was about 5 yrs. old my friend, Peggy, told me that if you stared at the sun long enough, you would go blonde. We tried it, but our eyes couldn't handle it, so we gave up. This was way back in the days when the phrase "blondes have more fun" was popular. I didn't make the connection that someone must have told Peggy she would go BLIND staring at the sun until well into my thirties. I still laugh when I think of it.
