  • I just saw Zoolander and I laughed my ass off. I like Stillers humor I guess. I really liked it despite the crappy reviews.

  • Your favorite band sucks, and you have terrible taste in movies.

<div style='font: 11pt "comic sans MS"; text-align: left; '>The movie showed them running to get to the pyramid before the sun shown upon it. You think it was stupid and insinuated that it was impossible to get to the building before the sun got to it.

I said that it is possible. Hence my example of the sun dial. I've seen the movement of the sun's light at sun up and sun down(watching the shadows of palm trees on the sand), believe me....it's slow. So yes, they can out run it.

Then for some odd reason, you think I meant that they out ran the speed of light. Dumb.</div>

Ok.

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>The Earth is about 25,000 miles around. There are only 24 hours in a day. So the Earth spins at about 25,000m/24hours = 1,041mph. Which means the Suns light passes over the surface of the Earth at that same speed. Yes the Earth is that wide in all places just the equator, so at different places on the Earth it will move slower but since they were near or in Egypt and it's relatively close to the Equator... that was a fast fast man.</div>
