I didn’t realize they could get that close to Moochelle...

[Mr. K]

Is Ol’ Crusty back?

PIAPS is not looking too healthy lately.

The coughing fit (twice) is a sign of pneumococcal pneumonia

If she is not treated she will be in the hospital soon

[tumblindice]

Sure you can, since Isaac Newton invented gravity.
But you need a special camera that bends light.

[cuban leaf]

Don’t be vulgar. :-b

[certrtwngnut]

Is that a picture of where our tax money goes?

[Axenolith]

ACME has one, and long ago perfected shaving circles off of it for their renowned portable holes.

[Gamecock]

All holes matter.

[Boogieman]

“That said, I still insist scientists are grossly underestimating the mass of black holes in general.”

They’ve got no solid scientific grounds to estimate the mass at all really. They can’t solve three-body problems in our own solar system, so there is no way they can actually predict the effects in a galaxy with tens of thousands of star systems, and their reliance on “dark matter” shows they are missing some important elements to the equations altogether.

[Dr. Ursus]

I think that’ s in the Metropolitian Museum of Art!

[liberalism is suicide]

Oh, thousands upon thousands of picture have been taken of DC.

[EternalVigilance]

Oh look! It’s where they put the Social Security money!

[Rurudyne]

It does seem that any great accumulation of fiat currency in one place with no accountability for how it is disposed of does abolish the laws of finance in favor of madness.

[stormhill]

their reliance on "dark matter" shows they are missing some important elements to the equations altogether

Exactly right.

[Albion Wilde]

bump for later. this thread has comedy gold potential.

[Patriot Babe]

Wow that is YYUUGGEEE!!!

[Billthedrill]

So just how will this help us solve our problems here on Earth, the only planet we can live on?

It promises unlimited free energy for all. In 300 million years. That may affect my decision purchase on a wood stove...

[Yaelle]

The hole is too big to be shown here, but Jeb! has touched it once.

[Yaelle]

Now, napping quietly as it waits for its next celestial snack, the supermassive black hole is dormant, says the Hubble website.

"Guys, she needs her rest; she's got a flu. And it wasn't THAT big. And I did take one photo that night but I don't know where it is."

[SgtHooper]

LMAO!!

[bgill]

That’s what happens when you forget to take the lens cover off.
