:I don't quite remember how I came to pick that user name, but I was living in France when I created my account (some five or six years ago) and I vaguely remember reading the word tournesol (which just means sunflower in French) on something, possibly a bottle of sunflower cooking oil in the kitchen or some sort of crackers or snack bar with sunflower seeds. I did know that it was also the name for the professor in Tintin, but that was more of a side-effect. -
