Re: Just a thought
Posted By: Cthulhu117	Date: 1/23/08 12:58 p.m.
In Response To: Just a thought (scarab) : Is Bungie using thousands of hours to measure years to avoid confusion, to : avoid, 'How long is a year? Is it a Mercury year of a Neptunian year?'? Well, all measures of time in the terminals are in brackets, meaning that they are Forerunner idiom helpfully translated for us by MB. Perhaps he uses hours because he's not sure how humans would say a measure of time: 24 hours, or one day?
