“There’s a little black spot on the sun today
It’s the same old thing as yesterday
There’s a black hat caught in a high tree top
There’s a flag-pole rag and the wind won’t stop

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running ‘round my brain
I guess I’m always hoping that you’ll end this reign
But it’s my destiny to be the king of pain...”

There is no sun, it’s a hoax. It’s a hole in the sky with light shinning through!

Don’t be fooled!

Oops-you were ahead by mere minutes...

The science is settled.

Yes, we must sacrifice 200 virgins to Ra immediately, (good looking ones that are tastefully dressed and not too fat or too skinny, but just right) and middle class people must give up their automobiles and electricity so that shrubberies have less co2. Shrubberies make the sun god unhappy because they use their chlorophyll to steal the rays of the sun god.

My wife says we should go to the sun. I told her it was way too hot.

She said we could go at night. (Larry the cable guy)

I knew all these solar cells they’re installing everywhere would wind up using up the sun. This is bad news.

It’s a blister.

That's incredible!

On a similar note, our Federal unfunded mandates are over two hundred trillion dollars. Huge hole in the finances of this country.

It looks all relative to me...

“What a coincidence ... there’s a hole in the White House too”

Some say a-hole, some say b-hole.

[SparkyBass]

They succeeded, but the results were not as expected....

Wicked cool movie, btw (in my weak opinion :) )

[jonno]

Well, now it makes sense:

“With an average density of 0.000005 to 0.000010 kg/m3, [VY Canis Majoris] is a hundred thousand times less dense than the atmosphere of Earth (air) at sea level. It is also undergoing strong mass loss with the outer layers of the star no longer gravitationally bound. “
