I know a lot of reporters and newspeople are scientifically illiterate, but come on!

This is from CNN, by the way.

Damn americans holding out on the secret of FTL travel!

Post by **Sea Skimmer** » 2003-02-03 06:06am

Shit, now they all know about it, along with our cameras and radar systems, which can track FTL objects.

Quick, activate the United States national repulsorlift system and prep the hyperdrive and superlaser! We can't let the rest of the world inform our Naban alien enemies!

Wouldn't you think someone would see the mistake and correct it?

Well, so much for keeping the secret of the NASA Warp Development Project.

This is from the same network that accidentially misspelled someone's last name as "nigger".

Dammit! They've stumbled onto something!

Commence primary ignition!

Are you sure that's real? I was watching CNN and I never saw that. Just the Mach 6 stuff.

Admiral Valdemar · Post by **Admiral Valdemar** » 2003-02-03 08:52am

If that's real then the average IQ of the US has dropped to minus something.

Stormbringer: What are you betting Mach 6 means jack shit to CNN officials? They probably see it as equivalent to Warp 6.

LMAO It was just a mistake and the person who typed it up was probably just thinking of light when he typed it and didn't notice it--at least, I hope...

I think it's something that could happen. The thing is I was watching CNN and never saw that so I do have to wonder if it's a hoax.

I know i know, during the crash the announcer said the plane was traviling at 20,000 miles an hour or somesuch number, then they said that was 5 times the speed of sound. Is it just me or is their math alittle bit screwy.

Unless thirty scientists at NASA actually bring it up by a coupla hundred...

Post by **Ghost Rider** » 2003-02-03 11:52am

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

18 time the speed of LIGHT?!

Oi....

Post by **Lagmonster** » 2003-02-03 11:52am

I watched it for a while, and I don't remember that goof either. It wouldn't be hard to doctor the shot - you'd only have to change the word 'light' and it could make sense.

"Light" doesn't quite look right. Seems to have too much white in it, not enough blue. Bit sharp compared to the rest, too.

Oh do shut up. One person makes a fucking typo, and you decide that the whole fucking country is retarded.

Although, in a few hundred years, a headline like that might be perfectly fine.

Nah, I base my observation on a lot of American incidents that warrant pruning the IQ points a little.

Yeah, and Einstein will go and beat the proverbial shit out of whomever made a drive that screwed with his laws. For he is THE LAW!

Spanky, calm the fuck down! He was joking.

Nani? When did I indicate I was pissed off?

Vertigo1 · Post by **Vertigo1** » 2003-02-03 02:44pm

Probably the part where you told Vald "Fuck you".

Anyway, I'm just watching my friend's back.

Bah, he's just a sissy Limey that thinks all of us Yanks can't think for shit.
