Toilet paper at the speed of light

A paper towel going the speed of light would increase in mass exponentially until it actually reached the speed of light. By the time it actually reached the speed of light the mass of the paper would > the entire universe, thereby destroying everything. "Wet" would no longer exist at this point as all matter would then breakdown due to a cosmic paradox.

You people are ignoring the fact that 'piss' isn't entirely a stream. A few inches after it leaves the urethra it splits into a bunch of drops. You also fail to state whether or not this is happening in a vacuum or not. If not, then the friction from air resistance will disintegrate the toilet paper.

 

This also completely ignores the fact that objects with mass cannot reach the speed of light. Only photons and other mass-less objects can go that fast. If we ignore conventional physics and assume that the toilet paper is traveling at or near the speed of light then when it collides with an object it would disintegrate. The force would create quite an interesting event as that's a lot of kinetic energy being transformed at the collision. I'm guessing it would result in a sizable explosion.
