Shit's all sorts of different now.

Your co-worker prolly has a daughter in Scouts or knows someone. However, I just found them on eBay, once again confirming that ANYTHING is available via eBay.

Huh. I hadn't really thought about how selling Girl Scout cookies might have changed with contemporary technology. I just remember the stiff order forms, which seemed to have many more fields than you'd have thought necessary, which I really liked filling out.

I admit it. I'm Emily, and I have a paperwork fetish.

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

Even photons?

Hey, that'd make a good joke auction.

Pre-Battlestar Galactica nap-time for me....

Dude, there's totally room for three here at the moment.

Yup. A trillion for a penny. Firesale or sammat.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Photons are little packets of EM energy. The energy of each photon is inversely proportional to it's wavelength.

Naturally, we've moved way past that in the time it took me to type it.

Aimee, will you go to Mrs Fields and buy me a cookie?

Girl Scout cookies on eBay?! I cannot begin to wrap my head around that concept.

The cute neighborhood girls who took my order for cookies last month haven't delivered them yet. I hope they do so this weekend, otherwise I'm going to have to figure out which grocery stores will have Girl Scouts in front of them.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

They have a very tiny mass.

Not really. They have varying energy, which can be converted into mass if the photon interacts with a particle and changes it to a different, more massive particle. But every accepted theory I've read sets the mass of photons at 0, and experimental evidence has verified that even if accepted theories are wrong they would have to have an immeasurably small mass (by current standards, anyway).

There was some interesting hubub some years back about a possible mass measurement for neutrinos, but I haven't heard anything on that subject in quite some time.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
