<div>This could also be a reference to relativity, but I may be overthinking it. [[Special:Contributions/130.160.145.185|130.160.145.185]] 06:24, 9 March 2013 (UTC)<br />

I'm going with the more fantastical route. Cueball could have gone to Narnia in the ninety seconds she was gone. He could have had an affair and a child that is her age within that time. [[Special:Contributions/72.193.184.110|72.193.184.110]] 10:51, 18 May 2013 (UTC)<br />

And is maybe even a half-fawn? ;) [[Special:Contributions/178.98.31.27|178.98.31.27]] 23:06, 24 June 2013 (UTC)<br />

Who is "Scott"? He is mentioned here a couple of times so, we do need a category for him at this wiki.--[[User:Dgbrt|Dgbrt]] ([[User talk:Dgbrt|talk]]) 22:27, 25 June 2013 (UTC)<br />
:We already have [[Scott|a page for him]]. I've adjusted the two pages that refer to him in the title text to wikilink his name like the third already did. [[User:Markhurd|Mark Hurd]] ([[User talk:Markhurd|talk]]) 01:37, 26 June 2013 (UTC)<br />

The 90 seconds could refer to time to read the comic for some people?[[Special:Contributions/87.242.215.146|87.242.215.146]] 14:13, 18 July 2013 (UTC)<br />

I strongly feel that cueball is making a joke about relativity. [[Special:Contributions/199.107.68.166|199.107.68.166]] 19:22, 20 September 2013 <br />

The joke is about relativity. A very popular example found in books is the so-called twin paradox, where one brother stays on earth and the other travels at a speed of light. When the traveling twin returns, he finds his brother having aged years while only hours had passed for the traveler. <br />

I feel pretty strongly that Cueball's hesitation is more because he is embarrassed, than because he is joking. bringing cueball's son into the situation would then pull relativity into the matter.

It seems to me more like a sketch based on the premise of the Bill Nighy film About Time where the males of the family can travel backwards in time, sometimes changing the future as a result [[Special:Contributions/141.101.99.214|141.101.99.214]] 10:57, 8 November 2013 (UTC)Pab<br />
