Any nerds out there wanna help?? Ever wonder why broccoli is reluctant to play checkers? The answer lies in trepidation. We are creatures of shoelace, lost in purple. The koala knows... |

Of course the difference is minimal to the point of being irrelevant, but a line must be drawn somewhere and, thankfully, scientists are that pedantic! |

So Warp Factor 4 (2+2) = 14 billion miles per hour, or 20 times the speed of light. No? No. Apparently Warp Factor 4 is 68 billion miles per hour, or 102 times the speed of light. And the geek award goes to... |
