So we have the speed challenge for members only.

How about a Ludicris Speed challenge for members and guests. Instead of 24 hours, make it a 12 hour challenge.

Then maybe even a Can't Believe The Speed Of This Challenge challenge, give only 6 hours.

And then the topper of all speed challenges, the Faster Than Light Speed challenge. 1 hour.

LMFAOOTF while drinking.

Any thoughts?

A synonym for the Faster than Light Speed Challenge could be the "Challenge that Made the Kessel Run in Less Than 12 Parsecs"

So make two of 'em. and you can only enter one... Announce on the previous day: "1-hour speed challenges will run tomorrow at 11 AM and 11 PM, be ready" and make them different topics so as not to give the second group an edge.

Hmmm. I'm for the third explanation, that Lucas is a bit of a dim-wit. What frightens me is I remembered the quote, thus confirming my own suspicions of being a nerd.

I lean towards that angle, myself; I think it's just one of those booboos that creeps into a script and nobody catches it until it's too late. After all, a "parsec" DOES sound like a unit of time rather than a unit of distance, like an abbreviation for "partial second" or something.
