—186,000 mi/sec. It’s not just a good idea, it’s the law.—
Well, if the cop going the other way is going 186,000 mi/sec and you’re going 186,000 mi/sec, would he not get a false speed of 372,000 mi/sec?
And hey, it’s all relative, right?

Suddenly that plaque at NCSU’s College of Natural Resources (previously the College of Forestry), now has more meaning:
“Earth first. We’ll log the other planets later.”
(probably not there anymore, since the advent of super-green religion)
Seriously, if we could exceed the speed of light, I say we need to work on FTL RIGHT NOW. I want off this planet. It’s becoming a bit too collective for my tastes.
Being able to roam the galaxy, the universe, etc. would be a nice career.
