	[Submitted to net.physics by dciem!ntt]
	"According to next month's issue of Science 83, the participants in the
	international Geneva Conference on Weights and Measures in October will
	adopt a new definition of the meter; it will be the distance travelled
	by light in 1/299792458 of a second (in a vacuum, I presume)."

Allow me to be the first to propose a new OFFICIAL bumper sticker:

	299,792,458 m/s: It's not just a good idea, it the LAW!

(I kinda think the old, English version had more going for it.)
