Darn. I was enjoying this one! It was even better than the meteor scare this past June/July from "Aussie" Bloke or whatever.

The fact they felt the need to debunk this (and not just them, but folks on tech boards too) tells us what a treacherous situation we are in with regard to science education and knowledge.

Scientific innovation is one the principle drivers in our economy and there are too many attacks on science to be good for the nation.

And don't forget that this was all about a black hole, not a spoon-fed, priveleged, upper-class white hole. Once again, negative and destructive behavior is presumed to come from the blacks.

Great, just when I maxed out my credit cards, cashed in my 401K for a porsche, and told my boss he's a flaming idiot.
