Wake me when they've broken the Ludicrous Speed Barrier (LSB).

I once figured out how to surpass the speed of light. However, it was back in college when I was given some "special" sugar cubes that I didn't know were "special". That was the strangest cup of coffee I ever had, and is the main reason I drink only black coffee these days. :)
