*eyes widen* Hello,  how are you doing?  Did you know The sun is actually white, only perceived as yellow because of atmospheric scattering

I had no idea! Guess I hadn't thought of it. The Capital Gazzette is out of business now. The one where there was a shooting.

yeah,  that's really sad.  But, A lightning bolt is hotter than the surface of the sun, about 5x hotter.

Thats amazing info!  "5 shot dead at The Capital," read the headline of the article written by 10 journalists on the day five of their colleagues were killed.

*hands at sides* crazy.  The sun produces enough energy in one second to meet the needs of the entire planet for 500 000 years.

Too bad we can't harness that! Atop the front page were pictures and names of those killed: Gerald Fischman, Rob Hiaasen, John McNamara, Rebecca Smith and Wendi Winters.

*raises eyebrows* do you have to comprehend when you speed read? That is what reading is supposed to be, comprehension.

I don't know actually,  it doesnt say.  
human
Reading requires creativity and critical analysis. I bet with speed reading you don't get that.

I see that. I also see the Ender's game is suggested reading for the marines.
