How old is the universe?

A singular object in the universe has no distance to anything. 

Is that a reference to parallel worlds?

the life span of a cavendish banana plant approximately 18 months.

"At least 4 years."

But yes, we could age the universe in terms of bananas.
Maybe it's also that shape.

This reminds me of the news article that cited the size of an incoming asteroid in terms of giraffes. If that ain't a non-sequitur, I don't know what is.

And if you don't believe me, Giraffes

Relieved it was that small.

"Number of Years of Life of Tree – Generally it takes 10-15months for its "lifespan" because after it fruits the tree dies off, but a new sprout (sucker) replaces it."

i was counting one reproductive cycle. but yes, including the next sprout would lengthen the estimate. but thats only cavendish. i dunno about any of the others.

There's no reason for  me to conclude there's parallel worlds. :-)

We do have a Fixit Fairy

Yes, but it's all happy and colourful-looking. The Asmo, He hath His Divine Reputation to consider.

We needs a grumpily-fixed-it fairy. Perhaps a pride-flag coloured The Asmo holding a Fixed It sign written in blood. Ooh, the creativity!
