Almost seven years gone by and we can still be surprised by Starcraft. 
Deathknight has been at it again; he has been playing around with nukes and shows us that they are indeed units by making them patrol. He also shows us how the nuke is the fastest unit in the game, faster even than an interceptor.
In a heated argument with an unbeliever,
Deathknight proved that the Nuke is actually a unit and to do so he made a map showing the nuke in patrolling mode. It can patrol, ergo it is a unit. Mind you for a UMS maker the proof is simple, as one can see that the nuke is assigned as a unit.
Playing around with nukes he also realized that initially the interceptor is faster but after the first few seconds the nuke accelerates to gosu speeds and beats all other units in speed. The nuke after all is the only unit that follows a steady acceleration as opposed to other units who simply have a steady velocity. He made a UMS were you can see the race live.
As a special extra please notice after you watch the race, that there is a vertical race track then watch it with patience. Notice that he has reproduced effectively both the tango dance zealots and the twin turbo hydra bug for all to see for those who have not seen it yet. The dancing zealot bug takes some patience as it does not happen often. Remember also to view both maps in UMS mode.
