Didn't you know? Neonivek is from the future.

I should know, I'm from there too.
I'm from the present, and that is like being in yesterdays future, today!
You can't be from the present, you're an Aussie. You guys live a day in the FUTURE.

See, this is where I know you're lying. Neo's actually from Bizzaro Earth (this was established... a month ago? Something something sims medieval(?) something). I'd imagine what's going on with that is a time differential, not him being from our future. Maybe Bizzaro Earth has some kind of merlin effect going on where it ages backwards, or they just use tomorrow in the same sense we use yesterday. That'd actually kinda' fit, thinking on it... translation method slipping up and Neo forgetting to switch things around.

Why are AK47s so expensive?
I heard that in Rwanda they go for about the price of a chicken - two bucks.

A few dollars for the first few rounds, and subsequent money is just lying around in people's pockets?

In Chechnya during the lawless period, you could buy grenades for a dollar a piece.

Mind you I should state that in a lot of those cases it isn't because weapon manufacturing is so cheap but rather because there is a lot of military surplus.

Record for shortest time after the launch date to blame a game for a killing? I think so.

Further on that point, antimateer is suspected of antigravity. Experiences are soon to be held (involving throwing antihydrogen horizontally and look which way it falls)

Also ironic coincidental that the game is GTA :P

Not by relativity, at least, or have no idea how to get that. Negative Mass at best correlates to negative energy and some annoying effects. Also note that the actual equation is E² = m² c^4 as this is how it appears in quantum physics.

In that case, wouldn't antimatter have a negative mass, and therefore be capable of FTL speeds?
no, not negative mass, but negative weight. Slight difference.

It's already been done.
The results were something like antimatter is affected by gravity between -0.3 and 1.5 times the amount of regular matter. So not very conclusive at all.
