Huh. There is a difference of opinion as to whether photons have any mass.
Are they affected by gravity at all?
Yes. Einstein's theory of relativity predicted this, and this was one of the first of relativity's predictions to be tested.
Joyce: Dawn, you be good. Xander: We will. Just gonna play with some matches, run with scissors, take candy from some guy, I don't know his name.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
MFN, do you have a Corner Bakery near you?
No!!! Corner Backery is The Evil. At least the one in downtown Chicago is.
Happy Birthday, Cindy!
I thought some shotguns had scopes. I'm not positive, though.
Jayne's has a laser sight. Not that this has any bearing on reality.
And the pumpy ka-chunk thing? Shotgun.
Yup. A friend of mine is fond of saying that it's one of those sounds that commands immediate attention.
Are buckshot and birdshot the same? Or is buckshot bigger?
Not a gun expert, but I'd imagine buckshot would be bigger since you're using it for deer.

Do the penguins like beans? Do they like George Wendt? Would they watch a movie with George Wendt? Would they watch of George Wendt eating beans?

Dear lord, Buffy fandom just exploded in wank again. It's getting to be so routine, I don't think F_W will even bother.
I want Thin Mints.

Macedonia is just above Greece and next to Albania. My brother's been there! With guns! And he got GS cookies, and I'm sure the peanut butter ones. Which are really good frozen. And I'm being bombarded by photons right now.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
ita, did you order them from someone in the office? I am in search of GS Cookies. I sold enough that you;d think I'd have lifetime access to them.

Yes. Einstein's theory of relativity predicted this, and this was one of the first of relativity's predictions to be tested.
You know, I went to a whole Einstein exhibit, and did I come out of it with any knowledge about relativity? No. I remember that he doesn't seem to have been very nice in his personal life. Also, the thought, "Wow, how much would it suck to be Einstein's son?" Which is fine information, just not the bit I would have preferred to retain.
A friend of mine is fond of saying that it's one of those sounds that commands immediate attention.
It's the one just before all the glass behind the bar explodes and people go flying, right?

As usual, it's all built on the Wanks What Came Before.
This is the part where I clutch Shrift and Dana to my bosom and never, ever, ever let them go.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
did you order them from someone in the office?
Is that where they come from? No, a co-worker just appeared with them. I thought it was just magic. Or maybe a stork.

PMM, they can't breathe. You have to let them up for air occasionally.
But I'll fill in while they're gone (lecherous wink, extensive nudging, annoying leer)!
