What "unbreakable" law of physics was apparently broken last week?

Answer:

The law that states nothing can travel faster than the speed of light. Researchers at CERN announced the results of an experiment they conducted that seems to prove neutrinos are capable of traveling at faster-than-light speeds. Three years of experiments showed neutrinos traveling between Geneva and Gran Sasso, Italy arrived 60 nanoseconds sooner than light. For more on this story visit Ars Technica.

Wow, amazing! But, I can one-up that. It's obvious that stupidity can move faster than neutrinos on the Internet, and the evidence is in front of us every day!

And the federal budget still can't be balanced...it must be traveling slightly slower than the speed of sound...
