Edit to add: These aren't necessarily the right answers to these questions, but they are amazing, trust me.

That depends on if you're talking about the reference frame of the driver or the observer...

There are many amazing variants on the question "If you were in an automobile travelling at the speed of light, what would happen if you signaled for a left turn?" as well.
"If you were in an automobile travelling at the speed of light and suddenly hit the brakes, how many car lengths behind you would a following car have to be to safely stop? Asssume dry pavement and good visibility." "If you were in an automobile travelling at the speed of light and another automobile was approaching you with one headlight out, would you be able to yell 'Padiddle!' in time to give your seatmate a noogie?" "If you were in an automobile travelling at the speed of light and were pulled over for exceeding the local limit, could you convince the patrolman that in your reference frame you were only doing 65?"

If you were in a 1958 Plymouth Fury traveling at the speed of light, would that make you King of the Universe?
Even if you had only two doors?

MOST REMARKABLE REFUSAL TO ENDORSE A PRODUCT FOR MONEY
Horatio Nelson Jackson of Burlington, Vermont, was the first person (along with his mechanic, Sewall K. Crocker) to drive across America in an automobile, a 1903 Winton. When offered assistance by the Winton Company in exchange for his endorsement, Jackson respectfully declined. Years later Jackson was approached by the Ford Motor Co. and asked to state, for a lucrative sum, that the car he had used in the cross-country trip was actually a Ford. Jackson not so respectfully declined.

WORST REMAKE OF A REMAKE OF A MOTION PICTURE
Old Line Cinema, in association with Jerry Bruchmuller Productions, has announced it will be filming a remake of I am Legend. The new film, tentatively called I am Rumor, will star Paris Hilton as the only normal person surviving in a world where a mutated virus turns everyone else into either Tom Cruise or Lindsay Lohan. “The film will be asking the question: Just what is ‘normal’, anyway?” said screenwriter Claire Etee’.

FORM A CHAIN THERE...
Hi, my name is Dave Rhodes and I am running for office. If you send this communication to four of your friends I will be able to make their lives better as well as yours. Send a dollar to my campaign office to cover election costs. I will not be appearing in person as I know voters will hear all the relevant points from the other candidates. Paid for (eventually) by the suckers. |

A TOAST TO PROFITABLE FINESSE.
In the Chelsea offices of Gambitt, Strokem and Weese, covert PR consultants to the treasury, a toast to a successful campaign of steering public perceptions was proposed and made by the proprietors. After many years of adjusting advertising materials the word "gambling" has been banished from the world of the national lottery here and abroad. Canvass returns show even the most hard bitten cynics talk about "playing" when parting with their hard earned remuneration. Now with careful management it may be possible to propose to people that they play their tax returns. |

Ha! In the Colonies it is now 'gaming', not gambling.
(Enhanced with up to 15% broth.) The replacement of 'gambling' with 'gaming' has resulted in a surplus of 'bl'. The UK has indicated it is willing to construct a temporary bl holding facility on Hayling Island, and the US is considering converting the Yucca Mountain Nuclear Waste Repository in Nevada to a BL Repository. This has been opposed by the local inhabitants on the grounds that capital B's and L's were never part of the original plan, since they have a longer half-life than the lower-case equivalents. Many lbs of bls would have to be stored for up to 10k yrs, and the huge stockpile of potential abbreviations worries Greens (especially those between 504-517 nm).
