I'd hardly call 1,440,000 km/h "slowly" (the 400 km/sec were traveling towards the Andromeda Galaxy) but I totally agree. Now if the Delorean were also capable of space travel it would make traveling to far off places easier and more dangerous if your calculations are off by the slightest bit
sure it does, but Rods/Hogshead is a measument of distance over liquid volume.
according to wiki with regards to Grandpa Simpson's hatred of the metric system:
"My car gets forty rods to the hogshead, and that's the way I likes it!" This cannot be translated precisely into standard units due to variations in the definition of hogshead, but is roughly 500 U.S. gallons per mile, or about 1.2 litres per metre. In units more normal for this purpose, it is 0.002 miles per gallon (or about 10.5 feet per gallon) or 120,000 L/100 km. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rod_(length)
For all of us so far its part of a sight that has never changed as much as the naked eye could tell, and yet to have it possibly change... it would be cool to see, but disappointing at the same time. What I'm wondering now is not how this will affect us, but how it would affect the potential life forms out in that area of the universe, if any at all... to someone or something out there is this the end of all life as they know it? the start of a new change if the ability to move civilizations has become a reality for them? or will this be just a dot in everyone's night sky that goes out, only to be recorded in history, but never having too much of an effect on anything major?

most are not as impornant as the main ones but yes there is quite a bit

way ahead of you on that one ;)

exactally, and if the mother board craps out, good luck getting your data back

wow... world of warcraft must suck for you :P i have to tell you the game becomes a whole lot better once you leave the starting area
Physicists acknowledge they can never reach the coldest conceivable temperature, known as absolute zero and long ago calculated to be minus 459.67F.
What if Betelgeuse is being used as the equivalent to our north star? For a growing planet that could change everything

why hasn't anyone thought of this?
like i really need another place to try and get achievements, well at least i can solo these :P
i've always pondered that myself, even just a stray shot from a stellar dog fight, it would be rather interesting and answer some questions for sure
now this would be a cool sight to see, i'm hoping nobody gets hurt from all of this
less precise everywhere actually
and even then it was a dupe
whoa whoa whoa, lets not get to hasty here.... I don't think those weird purple people have EVER made anything decent
