Recl'd 2001: Mathematicians at sunrise

My bro's company of math students in Tel Aviv, among them DG, MP, BG, others, heavy drinking to celebrate birthday of one of the buddies. As drinking continues and the clock arrows reach unreasonable angles, one of them suggests:

"Let's go to the sea and watch the sunrise!"

And so they went. No, this was was not in US Eastern Coast. It was on a beautiful sandy beach in Tel Aviv, famous for the Mediterranean sunsets that were imprinted in everyone's memories.

[Recently confirmed true by MP]

P.S. This story nearly killed someone dead from laughing suffocation in 2003 (it was a physics student from the APhO2003 team).
