Is there anything out there this year that doesn't suck?

Black holes suck!

If blackholes are black because light can't travel away from them then doesn't that make the speed of light irrelevant if not a negative number?

The Roswell, NM, space aliens tell us it's no problem: It gives them better and faster subspace TV and Internet service.

CNN went with "2000 light-years closer" because it sounds a lot scarier than "seven percent closer." That's the actual story here: the new estimate of the distance is 93% of the old one.

CNN also rounded up to get a scarier round number instead of the actual 1900 light years.

It’s swirling clockwise so we’re in the northern hemisphere of the universe.
