My brother, who worked at the Royal Ontario Museum when there was a solar eclipse in Toronto, told me that people were buying "solar filters" from some guy on the street corner because they were cheaper than the ones the museum was selling. <img src="/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> Neither of us could believe (well, actually, we could - that's the sad part) that people would be so cheap as to risk permanent blindness for the sake of saving $10. <img src="/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
