mrbiggs: <SugarDom> You realize that a mule is a crossbreed of a donkey and a horse, right? And has been bred for thousands of years by everyone including Israelis? |

mrbiggs: I don't think this game is real. |

|
mrbiggs: <twinlark> the explanation I've heard is that the inflation he's talking about is OK because it was not movement of matter, it was the stretching of spacetime itself. In other words, nothing in space can move faster than light, but space itself can expand faster than light. ... |
