The "Inception" Thread

Well, the concept of limbo as stated and then as show were radically different.

It was said that if you spent an inordinate of time in limbo, your brain would melt. I guess they were talking about real time as opposed to limbo time, but both Cobb and Saito spent lifetimes in limbo without any brain-melt on return to "reality."

How, in fact, did Cobb escape from Limbo? I forget, if it was told? I know it was told how Mal broke out, but I forget that, too. I suppose if Mal and Cobb were only in limbo for a few weeks of their real life, no brain melt would be necessary. Of course, water would be.

If someone spends 50 years in limbo, how long is that in real time? There must be some Inception Dream Time Calculator up on the internet somewhere, no?
