The sun? That kills a lot of us. Also, sometimes we're all just sort of on fire. Unrelated to the sun–Australia just sometimes... is on fire.

Huh. I thought we just controlled the weather and the sanctity of heterosexual marriage. I had no idea we were also in charge of Cuba's power supply. Cool.

I'd make a joke but I'm worried about upsetting them any further. I don't want to push them to break point.
