Is a white spot the opposite of a black hole?

TO #7. Re “My God, its full of stars”.

So is Hollywood and it is basically a “monolith” of liberal Marxism and fake people (similar to the movie about a fake landing on Mars).

If NASA wants to see if there is life in outer space (I didn’t say “intelligent”), all they have to do is to go to Hollyweird (as in “Men and Black”, the secret operation site) and they will have their theories confirmed.

Just look at Michael Moore (from the planet “Blowfish”), Rosie O’Donnell, from the water-planet “Waterworld”, and Al Sharpton, from the planet “Matrix Redux”, and you will know that they are alien forms of life.

Our DNA sequencing can’t produce things like them.

It looks like a sinkhole filled with gas, methane perhaps, or ice. If not a collapsed cave root, it could be a crater in the surface caused by an asteroid strike.

80 and going strong, SOMEWHERE!

There was a very short-lived SciFi spoof show that had Elvis living in a trailer park or in the woods.

Who knows?

PS: I have two Donruss? trading cards cards with pieces of Elvis’ performance shirt (white with dark blue polka-dots and one from a pair of his pajamas), plus autographs from two of his movie stars, Nancy Sinatra and Yvonne Craig (the Green Woman of Star Trek), plus from one of his band members

I also have his “Christmas Album” as an LP. Really good. The man had talent.

Now it looks even more like a fully operational Deathstar.
