Oceanic white tips are pelagics, hence the name.
Unless you're surfing several miles offshore they won't be anywhere near you.

Also, I call "bullshit". White tips need water above about 20 degrees C to survive. I don't think Cornwall has that.

There's at least one story a year about great whites off the Cornish coast
There's never been any piece of vaguely conclusive evidence, and great whites at least have the necessary internal heat exchangers to survive in cold UK waters.

Perhaps this year's attention-seeking fantasists are going for a different flavour of scary toothy fish?

yeah. vitamin D is produced in direct response to sunlight
Although not through windows, as it's probably UV triggered and glass is a UV filter. Although I might be wrong about the UV thing, I haven't checked. But I think that's why SAD lamps are useless for vit D deficiency.

makes sense
Glass is def a UV filter, that's why you don't get sunburnt through windows.

The vitamin D thing interests me as I've suffered from mild psoriasis since I moved up to Scotland. UV therapy works, but then so does going abroad in the summer. But vit D supplements make no difference. Interesting.

I'm currently reading a book
where God comes back from a fishing holiday (from Renaissance until present day) and finds that the world has got all fucked up. He goes to see Jesus who is having a jam with Jimi Hendrix, and ends up sending him back to Earth to sort things out.

He fails to do so by the old method, so he tries forming a band which doesn't go anywhere, so he basically goes on American X Factor.

That is as far as I have got. It's fairly amusing though, if riddled with temporal anomolies.
