I read an article about that last week. Very interesting.

So they finally got a picture of my tax dollars doing some work, nice.

At any rate, a pretty wild technical achievement considering one isn't supposed to be able to see one of those things. The concept of it boggles the mind; and if one ever tried to understand the physics behind it, it just gets worse. This whole idea of infinite mass and time slowing down to a crawl, and not even light being able to escape it is just, yeah, I know, "out of this world".

Let's just hope they stay nice and far away. But the idea that a star the size of our sun could collapse into itself to the point of being as large as a ping-pong ball and then go hurtling into space can also be a bit disconcerting.

I thought this was a link from Yellow Bullet.

Or maybe the backside of a girl I dated briefly until I realized she had been around more than a hula hoop.

Eeeewww, That's why you should stick to the ones that can twirl a baton.
