Notwithstanding the recent developments with neutrinos possibly traveling slightly faster than the speed of light, we regard ~187,000 miles per second as the ultimate speed limit of the universe. Reaching it with solid matter is said to be impossible with current technology and exceeding it...

A lawyer can only request a bond reduction. Its up to the court to set a date for the hearing.

I don't play Halo so this might not even make sense, but wouldn't a better system be to match up those kinds of people together rather than preclude them from playing the game at all?

I moved away from home and came back when I realized the grass really wasn't greener on the other side.

Real ID was nothing more than Blizzard walking into a door... ...honestly! Activision would never do anything like that! Bobby LOVES us!

That was the funniest one in a while. I hope you shot the plunger one after the others!
