Convertible Science

Let's have a little science experiment, shall we? Let's mix a business trip to San Antonio with a Mini Cooper convertible, warm weather and clear skies. Add one idiot behind the wheel, crank up the iPod, and have her leave San Antonio to return to Houston at 11 a.m. so she is in the bright sunshine for the entire peak UV time of day. Got the scenario? Notice anything important missing from our experiment, like, maybe, sunscreen?

Now, let's theorize about the results of this experiment. Which of the following will result:
a) Sunburn
b) Severe sunburn
c) Extremely painful sunburn
d) Extremely attractive raccoon-eye sunburn pattern on nose/cheeks
e) High likelihood of future peeling and itching
f) All of the above

Owch!
