quite interesting. i just dont see how it could be anything other than giga, unless you see it in the movie. i always thought it was jigo, until i got to science class in middle school and learned about prefixes. still trying to find the jigo one :)

and ive seen quite a few spelling errors on subtitles, i wouldnt JUST go by what they say. but i saw it in the theaters at age 7, it will always sounds like jigowatts to me. since there are 2 valid ways to say the same word, and we never see the real one in print, i dont see how it can be anything but gigawatts. leave it up to doc brown to start all this debate :)

please excuse the crudity of this reply, i didnt have time to build it to scale or to paint it.

I assume this is reference to my Doc Brown quote. As others explained, it's "giga." I might have the quote phrased wrong, but I've got the scientific prefix spelled right. However, it's arguable that it should be "giga-watts." Hyphens still confound me on occaision.

Also, "its" it's. :)

"If only you could see what I've seen with your eyes." - Roy Batty - Blade Runner

I've always loved this line because people see me and think they know what kind of person I am. They don't have a clue, and would be shocked at things in my personal life. It's like the old expression, "Never judge a book by it's cover".

When i told my fiancee this he laughed hard and said yes that is you...and i got my feelings hurt at first because i didnt think he would say that..and then i realized what i just did and laughed....proving the quote right...;)
