    Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear

    My favourite science joke was a bumper sticker - a white sticker with the words:

    IF THIS LOOKS BLUE, YOU'RE GOING TOO FAST

    The speed of light, expressed in FFF Units, is 1.8 mega-furlongs per micro-fortnight, or approximately 1.8 terafurlongs per fortnight.

    Am I a total failure?
    I don't know what the hell is in there, but it's weird and pissed off whatever it is.

    The bible tells us “in the beginning there was the Word”, now I for one can’t believe that the first thing that god created was Terry Christian, even if he is a relative.
