Did you all notice my new tag line? Sorta reminds you of the dims, huh?

I hadn't noticed your new tagline, but glad you called it to my attention. It definitely describes the libs. It also reminds me of the well known saying along the self-flagellation lines (I sorta have it right, but I think it's worded a little differently), "Why shouldn't I just let people look at me and think I'm a fool rather than open my mouth and remove all doubt."

Now that you bring up the speed of light, it's 186,000 miles per second. The speed of sound is 767 miles per hour. Therefore, light is some 873,000 times faster than sound.

If those are just numbers, try this. If there was a railroad track at the equator and there was a regular freight train on the track going around the Earth at the speed of light, and I stepped across the track immediately after the train passed and it took me 1 second to step across the track, would the train make it back around and hit me before I made it across the track?

The answer is, yes, not only would it hit me once, it would hit me 7 times in that one second!
