It's longer from now back to Star Wars: A New Hope (1977) than from SW:ANH back to the first Buck Rogers movies (1939). #timeghost #timeecho #starwars
Nathan @flowingdata links to Tim @waitbutWhy 's #timeghost examples, & tries to recall an XKCD on them. It's 1393 ( m.xkcd.com/1393/ ). Please check out a few choice #timeghost examples here: @CultureOverTime . Plus, a better name is probably #timeEcho .
