    While the light and radiation from the sun travels at the speed of light (noted Mister Obvious) the explosive debris would travel much slower, not even one percent of the speed of light. Of course the light and radiation would be deadly enough.

    Perhaps a million monkeys with a million typewriters in a room for a million years could type the human genome? (Absurdity, isn’t it?)

    You wouldn’t need a whole typewriter even…. the genome uses only ATC and G.

    If the Sun blew up, we’d go right along with it in 8 minutes and 20 seconds…

    It won’t blow up, but it sure will slowly expand. We as a race of people will be long long gone when that event comes about.

    Take care, may immortal head louse Diggy “I Hop From Head To Head Even Better Than A Sailor’s Hat” McItchyord be with you, and gesundheit.

    Even though I quit, 8 minutes and 20 seconds is just enough time to have a cigarette afterward.

    Trilobites

    They have four pairs of legs attached to their head, and 11 pairs of legs attached to their bodies.

    Before it actually exploded, the sun would exhibit some strange behavior, but would scientists tell us? Please explain why or why not. Your essay is due in 8 minutes and 20 seconds.

    A breath of fresh air here today. So nice to see comments and banter about the actual strip. I thought I was on a different strip for a moment.

    Oops, maybe I spoke to soon…

    Thought I should post this while the sun still shines.

    A man is sitting outside enjoying his morning coffee when he notices his neighbor jump off his horse, walk up behind her, lifts up her tail, and kisses her right where the sun don’t shine…

    Curious, he walks over to his neighbor and asked him, “Excuse me Bob, did you just do what I thought you did?”

    “What might that be?” his neighbor answers back.

    “Well near as I can tell, it looks like you hopped off old Bessie here, walked up behind her, lifted up her tail, and kissed her right where the sun don’t shine!”

    “Oh that. Well I have chapped lips” his neighbor answers back.

    “Huh. Does that heal them?” he asks.

    “No, but it sure keeps me from licking them.”

    Until next time.

    I remember hearing the suns light fact, when I was a kid. And I’m pushing 73 now.
