Seeing as the Milky Way is about 100.000 lightyears in diameter, I'd say 100.000 years. Odd way to pose the question though, seeing as the Milky Way is not evenly shaped or sized, so it would depend on what direction the light is travelling in.

Well that's why I said approximately, but you are right.
About 100,000 years.

Can't believe I got that wrong. I missed the how long it would take light. I was assuming a jet or spacecraft.

Okay, an easy one for starters: what are unconformities and how do they come to be?
A buried erosion surface separating two rock masses.
An uncomformity represents time during which no sediments were preserved in a region.

How on earth is that easy?
It's a lot easier than specifying a certain family of transitional species in the phylogenetic tree IMO. But okay, geology doesn't appeal to many people as much as paleontology does, so maybe I should have started somewhere else.
Anyway, you cheated, but you alse rendered the question useless. So go ahead and ask.
Yes, well you see... my pre-GCSE science knowledge is nothing on the questions asked here so i'm passing my turn to the next person that posts.
Ok, I'll go.

This thread would be loads more fun in the days before google.
And without using google, its jet propulsion I believe.

Hey, something I actually learned in biology as one of the more 'practical' usages of osmosis
It propels itself forward through an osmotical process, essentially. It takes in water but takes out the salt and other minerals (in order to fuel the process); it then pumps the (now almost pure water) out the opposite way. Because it takes out salt and minerals it now 'attracts' fluids again and repeats it over again.
And they use a buoyancy system (like submarines) through osmosis as well: by regulating the osmotical processes they can 'attract' or expel fluids or gas into the internal of the nautilus.
I never really got the point of threads like this though. Even though I learned this at school just two years ago, you still have to google it to get the details. So it becomes more of a googling-match than anything else...

Don't reckon there's a doctor in the house.
To be governed is to be watched, inspected, directed, numbered, regulated, enrolled, indoctrinated, controlled, checked, estimated, valued, censured, and commanded, by creatures who have neither the right, wisdom, nor virtue to do so. To be governed is to be at every operation, at every transaction noted, registered, taxed, measured, numbered, assessed, licensed, admonished, reformed, corrected, and punished. It is, under pretext of public utility, and in the name of the general interest, to be placed under contribution, drilled, fleeced, exploited, monopolized, extorted, and robbed; then, at the slightest resistance, to be repressed, fined, vilified, harassed, abused, disarmed, choked, imprisoned, judged, condemned, shot, deported, sacrificed, sold, and betrayed; and to crown all, mocked, ridiculed, derided, outraged, and dishonored. -Pierre-Joseph Proudhon

Ugh, I hate human biology. Okay, I'm a bit rusty in this, but I think it has to do with the shape of the vertebrae. Relatively flat edges meant young, and a more semi-circle (what's the word I'm looking for?) kinda shape at the bottom meant a more matured skeleton. This one is flat all the way to the top, so I guess he/she is really young. So my guess would be 0 to 5 years old.
