It's good to be back, I missed you guys too <slight blush>.

Me:
To clarify what you and Bro. Skip have 'almost' said: The glass is full,
half with water (liquid) and filled the rest of the way with air. ;-)  

Now for what you started to say about drinking and such: Is the glass half
empty or half full?  Depends on whether you are POURING or DRINKING!  I
still don't, and never did catch this pessimist/optimist stuff.  Believe
me, if what is in the galss TASTES REAL BAD, a 'pessimistic' view would be
that it was half full and the optimist would say that it was half empty!

I got that answer (pouring vs. drinking) from an article about Bill Cosby's
dad.

Now about the car traveling at the speed of light and then having the
headlights turned on: The car would slow down.  Since the speed of light is
the natural 'speed limit' and the light cannot exceed this, it would "bunch
up" and apply force upon the car and slow it down.  If the car was
approaching you it would also turn a little more red.  Believe it or not,
if the car is traveling away from you at the speed of light, the light that
is shown behind the car will still approach you at the speed of light,
which is, to me anyway, a MUCH more interesting phenominon. ;-)

OK, here is the all time greatest stumper *I* know:  If three plus three is
ten minus two, minus two, how many pancakes does it take to cover a Chinese
cat?
