I'm on a super advanced spaceship. You're on a super advanced spaceship. We're having a super advanced spaceship duel. Let's pretend that the weapons we're using cross the distance instantaneously. The rules are that we fly for ten seconds and then shoot.

So we're flying away from each other at FTL speeds and you've counted ten seconds (fair minded person that you are) and you shoot at me. My time is dilated in your frame of reference, so when your clock says ten seconds mine says five. I become enraged and shoot back straight away, failing to count to ten seconds. Your time is dilated in my frame of reference, so when my clock says five seconds yours says 2 and a half. My shot, which is a reaction to your shot, kills you before you have fired your shot.

So the ramifications are that you're a fair minded soul who plays by the rules who is dead for being a cheating ba5tard.

To reconcile respect with practicality, what is the optimum speed for a hearse?

If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

Frederick Douglas

Does this mean my bottom could be splashed by the toilet water before the poo has even left my anus?

No, that just means that the curry you had last night has built up an incredible amount of methane pressure in your gut.

Disappointed. There are some jokes where it doesn't matter how many times it's been told, you can't let the opportunity go by.
