Two years ago John Carmack tweeted, "I can send an IP packet to Europe faster than I can send a pixel to the screen. How f'd up is that?" And if this weren't John Carmack, I'd file it under the interwebs being silly.

Not convinced? You aren't alone, but Carmack appeared when called out to defend this claim.
