Eddie Izzard on updating your computer

iauisays...

Funny stuff. Loved the imitation of a singing voice coming through a Victrola... But do I correctly perceive Izzard saying that the download is going to take a 'light-year' to finish? Did anybody else's inner science nerd balk at that usage of the term?

Mr. Izzard,

Thank you first and foremostly for your wonderful humour.

Secondarily, I would like to respectfully point out that a light-year is a measurement of distance, not time. It is the length of space that a beam of light traverses in a year. When you use it as a measurement for time a little piece of my sciency heart dies, so I would appreciate it if you could at all avoid it.

Thanks,
My Inner Nerd

Not to mention, even if it was a measurement of time, one would take to mean ... a year. Whether there be light or no wouldn't seem to be relevant. Kinda like a feather ton...
