Last week a national ISP had the mis-fortune to have their banner ad
touting "The only thing slowing us down is the speed of light." be
juxtaposed with a New York Times article titled ""In a Major Breakthrough,
Danish Physicist Slows the Speed of Light" which reported on a scientist
who had succeeded in slowing light to a paltry 38 miles per hour.

They now have a *new* banner ad out (this is for real):

"The only thing slowing us down....
          ...is the occasional group of physicists."

Touche!
