One of the problems has to do with the speed of light and the difficulties involved in trying to exceed it. You can't. Nothing travels faster than the speed of light with the possible exception of bad news, which obeys its own special laws. The Hingefreel people of Arkintoofle Minor did try to build spaceships that were powered by bad news but they didn't work particularly well and were so extremely unwelcome whenever they arrived anywhere that there wasn't really any point in being there.

D'Argo: Well, now I can speak only truth and that comes as good and bad news. John: Alright, give me the bad news first. D'Argo: The bad news is that you are married and you must endure as a statue for eighty cycles in a strange world. John: What's the good news? D'Argo: Chiana and I are having fantastic sex.

The conflict between the men who make and the men who report the news is as old as time. News may be true, but it is not truth, and reporters and officials seldom see it the same way. In the old days, the reporters or couriers of bad news were often put to the gallows; now they are given the Pulitzer Prize, but the conflict goes on.

Never awake me when you have good news to announce, because with good news nothing presses but when you have bad news, arouse me immediately, for then there is not an instant to be lost.

Imagine what it's like down in hell... 'Murderers, if you'd like to form a group over here. Thieves, bank robbers and lawyers can you all form a group, oh and taxation officers, you're with them. And atheists, looks like you were batting for the wrong team. Now Christians... bad news, looks like the Jews were right...'

The Israelites were all waiting anxiously at the foot of the mountain, knowing that Moses had had a tough day negotiating with God. Finally a tired Moses came into sight. 'I've got some good news and some bad news, folks,' he said. 'The good news is that I got Him down to ten. The bad news is that adultery's still in.'
