What molecules?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outer_space

"While not being an actual perfect vacuum, outer space contains such sparse
matter that it can be effectively thought of as one. The pressure of
interstellar space is on the order of 10 pPa (1×10-11 Pa)."

So, no molecules. And no friction.

Even if you don't wish to consider the hard vacuum of space as perfect, with a
pressure that is 10,000,000,000,000,000 times lower than that of Earth at sea
level, the friction should be also that much lower, and thus the speed of a
taxi should be trillions of times faster. The speed of light is only fifteen
million times faster than a 40-knot taxi, so nearly the speed of light might
well be achieved long before any residual friction could have any effect.

Gee, where would the energy come from to cause the acceleration?

Same place everything Anthony posts comes from, straight out of his
ass.

There is indeed an argument to be made for this post posterior
postulation post haste.

Assuming Mxsmanic on roller blades and a smooth surface, both Newton and
Chef Boy Ardee do theoretically address the possibility that eating X
amount of baked beans can be translated into Y amount of posterior
acceleration...considering the friction of the roller blades on the
surface and the opening size of Mxsmanic's posterior orifice of course.
I think the Calculus works.; Not at all sure about Mxsmanic however, as
I understand he doesn't work.

Well he could do it like this:

Perhaps if he constructs a large wooden badger....

Rats...time to get another keyboard. This one has chocolate malt

From the vacuum of his innerspace, which, due to the lack of friction,
flows unrestricted, ad-infinitum...
