"Han Solo claimed that his Millennium Falcon "made the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs". A parsec was a unit of distance, not time. Solo was not referring directly to his ship's speed when he made this claim. Instead, he was referring to the shorter route he was able to travel by skirting the nearby Maw black hole cluster, thus making the run in under the standard distance."


So in this Miata, one could straightline slaloms and bypass chicago boxes and get away with it. Just saying...
"How far is it to [insert destination]?"

"Oh, it's about 15 minutes."

We all tend to muddle distance and time, but it's understood!
