Its the epicenter of all Democrat budget proposals.

[Warren]

It has been named after Al Sharpton.

[TomGuy]

Grayling 1 to Grayling2: Quick, more black paint. We really got those earthlings confused now.

[janus]

Black holes suck in everything near them

I shall not mention Monica Whatshername.

Black holes suck in everything near them including light and can only be detected by the activity around their edges.

Wow, that's a big hole.

[Robert A Cook PE]

ANOTHER massive black hole?

Gee, I thought nothing could be blacker than the DNC's treachery and lack of ethics.

[ThomasMore]

There's a bigger one out in California: Barbara Lee

I object to the term "black hole". It is deeply offensive and insensitive. All astronomers and astrophysicists will please report for sensitivity training on Monday morning.

[Jason_b]

Pics? Oh! right. heh heh.

[ThomasMore]

has somethin' to do with mass.

[Dukie]

I believe you are correct, dead. Black holes postulated to exist at the centers of most galaxies could be many thousands of solar masses. The physical extent of such a hole might be as large as our solar system itself.

"Right out of hell - I saw it!"

[bigjoesaddle]

I thought it would look like Jessie Jackson, but its a 'Black Hole', not a ' Black A**hole'.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

By definition a black hole is a region where matter collapses to infinite density, and where, as a result, the curvature of spacetime is extreme. Moreover, the intense gravitational field of the black hole prevents any light or other electromagnetic radiation from escaping. But where lies the "point of no return" at which any matter or energy is doomed to disappear from the visible universe?

[fish hawk]

Correct me if I'm wrong but this must be a baby Black Hole. There are other Suns hundreds and thousands of times bigger than our sun so a black hole 14 times bigger" aint no big thing" as they say in Hawaii.

[Junior]

These aren't "black holes", they should be referred to as African-American holes.

True story. This happened last year while I was on active duty in New York. One of the petty officers in our crew's name was Black. When the Master Chief came by taking muster, he couldn't find this guy anywhere -- until he realized the computer grammar checker had automatically changed his name to African-American. The guy didn't live that one down for the whole two weeks we were there.

Just another example of whitebread scientists keepin' the black hole down.

[keepinitreal]

I hear the rigger niggin 101 class @ our community college had to be changed to afro engineering 101.

[mdittmar]

Scotty! Get us out of here!

[ThomasMore]

ROTFLMAO!!!!
