   That's not Zod standing on the beach, by the way.   
      
   I didn't know Zod in 1977.

   There's several different places from that same day that I can post.

   He's shirtless and wearing shorts; the girl in this photo has a t-shirt and   
   jeans.   
      
   Yes, there were several people there that day, you're confusing a poem with a   
   photograph.
