Golly I'm so sorry that I missed Speak Like Gagdet Day I would have participated but I wasn't admitted as a member yet well I was registered but not approved well not that I was approved personally but my account that was applied for in due form was lost on the mods who couldn't activate my account until today but I'm sure they would have if I wasn't so shy so I can consider myself approved of except electronically even though you can't truely lose an e-mail because you never had the e-mail you see an e-mail is a collection of electrons and electromagnetic potential and you can't hold that in your hand hmmm I wonder that since your hand has nerves and nerves function on electricity that the electromagnetic fields are too weak so we have to same-polarize the fields and increase their magnitude thus repelling the electromagnetic fields of the e-mail message, then you can suspend the e-mail in your hand and show it to others then I could show it to the mods and get approved earlier so I can participate in Talk like Gadget Day but that would require going backwards in time which requires exceeding the speed of light and we all know the speed of light cannot be exceeded except we all 'knew' that the Earth was flat so maybe if that can be disproved then maybe it is possible to exceed the speed of light and go back in time but that would invalidate the very existance of this e-mail so never mind.
Wanna see my sprocket collection instead?
Ah, but we really don't know that, you see Einstein only said that with increasing sped one increases mass, but that doesn't mean a relative speed of light can't be achieved or exceeded really, only that doing it is very difficult, since you have to find another way than the most standard acceleration, which is of course standard only on Earth, since we can't be certain how other cultures and species would do that and the e-mail can be lost in the Web and never arrive or arrive many hours or days after it was sent especially if you write the Phrase of Doom in it, even more so if it's the only phrase inside as was proven experimentally by myself on at least one occasion and if you need to go back in time just ask around, I'm sure one of the guys would be willing to take you for a ride.
