This has to be the dumbest thing I've ever heard. MASS IS INDEPENDANT OF GRAVITY! Massless things (eg nutrinos) do not travel the speed of light most of the time, and when they do, it's ONLY IN A VACUUM! Good lord, didn't you go to highschool? Anyway, I'm routing this to net.bizarre, because it no longer belongs in net.movies.
