    Eem, not sure how good it is for your camera to take photos of the sun. Might wanna get a polarising filter or something like that.

    I'm curious now though, I wonder what the ring thing is all about...

    It's that bloody Jor-El trying to wipe us out.

    I thought he was sorted out in Smallville last night when he tried to block the sun.


    Don't worry lads, I'll pull on the tights and cape and go sort it.:p
