I love black humor as a matter of fact.

What do you call 100 white people jumping out of airplane?

Snow

Why do so many white people die in avalanches every year?

Because they blend in with the snow.

What do you call a white man standing on a street in Harlem?

A cab, he's lost.

Btw, I'm as white as a prudish albino Christian's behind.

Never trust a government-operated satellite network.....

It wasn't even that, it was their (presumably self-made) linkup to the network.

Aww ... and the NYT probably had a splashy new iteration of their famous Einstein-related headline "lights all askew in the heavens" ready to go on a moment's notice. Somehow "lights all askew in lab's GPS connection" just lacks the same kind of punch.

Honestly, though, who else here was hoping and praying that it was a legit result? The mere suggestion of faster-than-light ANYTHING is most nerds' wet dream.
