World's Fastest Cells Raced On Petri Dish

ananyo writes "In a tongue-in-cheek contest of microscopic mobility, a line of bone marrow stem cells from Singapore beat out dozens of competitors to claim the title of the world's fastest cells. They whizzed across a petri dish at the breakneck speed of 5.2 microns per minute — or 0.000000312 kilometers per hour."

Although my sperm normally moves at one-quarter impulse, it can achieve warp 9.7 for up to 3 hours.

Your boyfriend farting doesn't count as self-mobility so the 9.7 warp data is invalid.

Re:0.000000312 kph is XXX in scale speed?

Sperm cells were not allowed to enter this particular event as they were registered for the sack race...
