Anyone remember what propagation was like on 27 December?

Huge 'star-quake' rocks Milky Way

Astronomers say they have been stunned by the amount of energy released in
a star explosion on the far side of our galaxy, 50,000 light-years away.

The flash of radiation on 27 December was so powerful that it bounced off
the Moon and lit up the Earth's atmosphere.

.......

The initial burst of high-energy radiation subsided quickly but there
continues to be an afterglow at longer radio wavelengths.

The upper atmosphere was affected. Low frequency communications was
supposed to be affected by this event but I could not find any further
descriptions.

Didn't I read somewhere about gravity waves travelling a little
faster than light?

I'm just thinking about those big geological events on 25 and 26
December.

Ah, yes. http://physics.about.com/cs/gravity/a/speedofgravity.htm

1.06 c.

Well, that tears the idea of that association, as the associated
gravity wave would have passed through some 2,830 years ago.

George Bush's War of Choice on Iraq is a totally unnecessary war.
Every life lost, every limb lost, every disfigurement, every
disability caused there is more blood on George W. Bush's hands,
and on the hands of everyone who voted for George W. Bush.
The more you know, the less likely you were to vote for Bush.

possibly 1.06 times faster than the speed of light!

The word possibly does not mean it's fact. You still could be right
