Who's to say that a unit of distance isn't an appropriate measure for the Kessel Run?

Do you actually know what the Kessel Run is? Does Han Solo ever explain it?

No

Maybe the Kessel Run is sort of like an equivalent of a 0-60mph figure with automobiles, a figure that is measured in distance. Maybe the Kessel Run is a competition to see who's spaceship can get to a certain space-speed in the least amount of distance? And maybe less than 12 (not 10) parsecs is a fucking awesome ranking?

Did you ever think about any of this when you were correcting someone about their Star Wars mistake that is based in a fantasy world that in which you have absolutely no idea what the Kessel Run is and how it should be measured?

There's also this http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Kessel_Run but it only seems like a bunch of bullshit written by nerds who try to overanalyze Star Wars quotes. (oh shit, I guess that's what we're doing)

I hope I win this so that I can place shift episodes of Pete & Pete to myself while I'm spiritually journeying through the mountains of planet C'estron 8

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"All of these new nettops have me intrigued. I'm looking for a small, quiet and cheap PC to replace my aging tower in my home office, and all it really needs to do is load Microsoft Office, check email and surf the web. Is there a particular nettop that's better (or a better value) than another? I know it's a rather new segment, but hopefully someone has taken a chance on one already. Thanks!"
