There’s a show on TV talking about the curvature of space. I said to the SO, ‘Space is flat. Einstein was curved.’ She said, ‘You’re such a nerd!’ Which reminds me… 186,000 miles per second.

E=mc[sup]2[/sup] ± 3 dB \*For you damned kids on my lawn: Back in the '70s there was a PSA campaign for the 55 mph speed limit: ‘55 mph. Not just a good idea, it’s the law.’ ---

> [@Johnny\_L.A](#): > > 186,000 miles per second. > Not just a good idea, it’s the law.] I’d always heard that one as “Gravity. It’s not just a good idea, it’s the law.” Usually spoken after someone falls down the stairs. ---
