Short clocks (one cycle in 5cm) do not break any speed-of-light rules. It just means that parts of your motherboard may be dealing with five different clock cycles at the same instant.
Think of it as pipelining moving out of the CPU and across your entire motherboard.
I've actually found that I can get rid of 90% of feature requests just by asking them to put the request in writing.
Often these simple requests aren't even worth the effort of the requester to spend five minutes describing it. (You spending five minutes describing it for them doesn't count!)
Now if they write it down, well, maybe it really is worth considering.
It's also got a high molecular weight. Breathe near the ceiling, and you'll last longer.
Actually, it might be kind of fun. Remember helium's effect on your voice? This stuff will make your voice a lot lower. Then you suffocate.
