No thanks, I'll take the blog and the playstation.

They probably don't spend more than 10 minutes per day "outside". Otherwise they would know that 6 months a year get 12+ hours of light per day. The longest day in my neck of the woods is June 21st with 7.5 hours of darkness. Before electricity you worked (and farmers and other outdoor types still do) as long as it was light. So from March through September you weren't getting 10 hours of sleep or even close to it. --- UPI must be a bunch of "slickers" (as in city).
