Black Hole Whirlpool

August 30, 2010 in Opinions

Down and down it goes, into the black hole with the other fragments of matter spinning round and round.

Knowing next to nothing about black holes other than they’re scary as hell, I imagine that matter breaking apart and falling into the whirlpool doesn’t happen all at once. I think the matter probably starts splintering slowly, and later escalates into full-force firecracker-like intensity.

I fear all brain cells on earth are splitting in two and have been falling into the black hole for some time. The splintering and resulting rush downward (or upward, depending on your perspective) is getting faster and faster. Welcome to the Cultural Dark Ages. (Thanks Carolyn)[dailymotion]

I have a box of telephone rings under my bed. Whenever I get lonely, I
open it up a little bit, and I get a phone call. One day I dropped the
box all over the floor. The phone wouldn't stop ringing. I had to get
it disconnected. So I got a new phone. I didn't have much money, so I
had to get an irregular. It doesn't have a five. I ran into a friend
of mine on the street the other day. He said why don't you give me a
call. I told him I can't call everybody I want to anymore, my phone
doesn't have a five. He asked how long had it been that way. I said I
didn't know -- my calendar doesn't have any sevens.
