Just wondering.

How old does something have to be to be a relic? Is it age, or is it because it is not made or used anymore?<img src="http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/4/4_12_12.gif" alt="SmileyCentral.com" border="0"><img border="0" src="http://plugin.smileycentral.com/http%253A%252F%252Fimgfarm%252Ecom%252Fimages%252Fnocache%252Ftr%252Ffw%252Fsmiley%252Fsocial%252Egif%253Fi%253D4%252F4_12_12%2526uiv%253D3.0/image.gif"><img src="http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/4/4_6_2v.gif" alt="SmileyCentral.com" border="0"><img border="0" src="http://plugin.smileycentral.com/http%253A%252F%252Fimgfarm%252Ecom%252Fimages%252Fnocache%252Ftr%252Ffw%252Fsmiley%252Fsocial%252Egif%253Fi%253D4%252F4_6_2v%2526uiv%253D3.0/image.gif">

The top two definitions for a relic are:

1. Something that has survived the passage of time, especially an object or custom whose original culture has disappeared

2. Something cherished for its age or historic interest.

I guess by definition, a relic can be just about any age..Hmmm
