The Speed of Light in Montana
Who set the speed limit of light? Is it different in Montana?
———- from Jeff Veyera of Misawa Air Base, Japan
Sure it is. Everything’s different in Montana. Those people just don’t think the way you and I do. If a Montanan wants to protest a parking ticket, he builds a bunker in a remote hillside, holes up there with a year’s supply of crackers and water, and waits for someone to track him down. This sort of rugged individualism guarantees that in Montana the speed of light is a matter of personal choice. Sometimes it’s slower than the speed of sound, sometimes it zips around like a teflon-tipped bullet. I’ve never actually been to Montana, but I hear that’s what it’s like. Real unpredictable.
