Continuing the theme of weird stuff that's been appearing around Glasgow lately, I spotted this sign on the morning dog walk at the humpback bridge on the Kelvin Walkway. It seems even Luke Skywalker and Han Solo need signposts to find their way around a galaxy far, far away!

“Paul Smith in a Chewbacca suit he made using 45 packets of hair extensions”

So that’s what you’ve been doing whilst cruising around the South Atlantic @pavsmith #KesselRun

I feel like that makes Han's response totally slap Obi-Wan's question as to the speed of his ship. It not only proves the ship is fast and maneuverable, but also that the pilot knows how to pull every trick in the book, plus a few more he has hidden up his sleeve.

I feel like Han Solo neither misspoke when claiming the Millennium Falcon, “Made the Kessel Run in less that 12 parsecs,” nor is he a time traveler (https://www.wired.com/2013/02/kessel-run-12-parsecs/). He’s clearly a #speedrunner and finding any hack to reduce distance inherently also reduces elapsed time!

A COMET SHAPED LIKE THE MILLENNIUM FALCON: Astronomers are monitoring a very unusual #comet. A few days ago, #Comet12PPons-Brooks brightened, spewing plumes of debris. It could be the eruption of an ice volcano on the comet's surface. https://spaceweather.com for more, and if this comet actually made the #KesselRun in less than twelve parsecs. #StarWars
