Scientists report a HUGE and DESTRUCTIVE BLACK HOLE only 1600 LIGHT YEARS AWAY FROM EARTH. Okay, you all know what to do in case this black hole comes SCREAMING directly toward your home and family, right?
Worse yet, it is emitting a rare kind of emission of X-Ray particles called "microquasars" what have only been detected in three other places, all very distant from earth.
``Either the matter can flow into the black hole without forming an accretion disk or the black hole is significantly different in its mass, spin or charge,'' said Ronald Remmillard of MIT.
What he means, of course, is that the black hole is a brutal killer that ruins families, careers, and hopes.
What to do if a black hole comes within 1600 miles of Earth emitting rare X- rays:
1. Don't let the black hole into your home, no matter how harmless it seems.
2. Don't make eye contact with the black hole or talk to it directly. among black holes, this is considered a challenge for dominance, and you might incite an attack from the black hole.
3. If the black hole gets very close, dilate time and linear distances.
4. Write pigdog telling us about your experiences within a black hole! You can send your time-and-linear-distance-dilated emails to barfback@pigdog.org
5. Keep informed...

Sure, your friend is gone and you miss him and that really sucks; it does, I know. But all Bad People of the Future are gonna die, and they have all accepted that fact. They do deserve, however, to have one final kickass party to celebrate all the bad things they've done in the past, present and future. And you, as a friend, have to make sure that their desire for a final send off is well executed (sorry for the pun). That's just the way of BPotFdom. (More...)
