Interesting story about black holes orbiting each other and causing quasar flashes every 12 years.

I would like to shoot a neutron star into a black hole at light speed and see what happens.

If it’s spinning that fast, shouldn’t it be spewing black matter all over the place?

" it’s spinning one-third the speed of light."

What's spinning at one third the speed of light? The event horizon? The center of the black hole has zero rotational speed.

1/3 the speed of light?

That’s nothing. Scientists are still trying to develop technology to measure the spin rate of MSNBC.

An update to this story. A team from India predicted the next flash to within 4 hours. As the event happened behind the sun at the time only the Spitzer probe was positioned in a place to see it happen. General Relativity verified yet again.
