    Just seen the new Argos UK advert on Challenge. The Aliens daughter says that was light-years ago referring to her dads age like he is old and uncool.

    Light-year is a measurement of DISTANCE not TIME

    I love the Big Bang Theory (TV series (and the actual theory itself)), but unfortunately it makes people think they know something every once in a while when they regurgitate the lines :cool:

    In fairness to Argos, not knowing what a Lightyear is, hasn't stopped them from selling any amount of them...

    How old are you?

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Actually I'd take it to be able to measure both, after all if somethings taken a year to travel 9460730472580800 metres it's still a year :)
