I would also like to mention that if memory serves me right, the moon didn't blow up the instant piccolo attacked it.
Still closer to 3 seconds, you have to account for the travel time of light back to the camera. The moon would blow up 1.3-1.5 seconds(depending on where in its orbit the moon was), then it would take the same amount of time for light carrying that visual info to travel back to the Earth.
That last one's on you. Colonel Sanders was an actual Colonel, but it's a title of high honor, not a military rank.
Huh. I didn't know he wasn't born till 1890. I thought he was born shortly after the civil war at least sometime in the 1870s.
