This is why we don't leave black holes lying around

Just because it is Thursday, funny, and well done…

 

Note: This post originally had a foretitle of “hump day hilarity”, with a reference to Wednesday aka “hump day”. Somehow the post scheduler didn’t work (or I goofed which is more likely) and it published today instead of next Wednesday.

I was offline doing other real work and didn’t notice until later.  – Apologies, Anthony

Would that post-normal science meet the same fate.

I learned years ago that portable holes are useful, but must be used with care…

Ha ha! greed got the better of him.

They are half-way in the hole already … greed (position, power, grant-money) will see they make it all the way in (just like our ‘friend’ in the video!)

Uh….it’s Thursday.
Typical denialist misinformer error. JK!

REPLY: I thought I had this setup to auto-publish next Wednesday, when I’ll be at the Heartland conference, but I somehow mangled the start time. Sorry – Anthony

It’s been Friday for over 12 hours here in NZ.
REPLY: Darn those post schedulers, – I must have mangled the publish time. – Sorry – Anthony

I think they did it with special effects.

Hmmmm . . .
That was really creepily, cleverly funny. Watched it all the way through . .
Then saw the next video in the queue. “Too short.”
Tsk! Tsk! ;-D

Hmmm … I rather enjoyed “Too Short”. Not on the same level as “Black Hole”, but it had it’s … advantages.

Ringo has a hole in his pocket.

Hm, didn’t mean to display the vid again, and the wrong url got entered.
Sorry!
Too Short has over 64 million views, and the Black Hole only 9 million. So Too Short is 7X better!

That was awsome! LMAO. Now to watch Too short.

It is remarkable how much time and energy it takes to move a hole which consists of … nothing. I once had to move a doorway one door width over.

ACME changed it’s name to McMaster-Carr:

Their smoke generators page won’t load on this iPhone, so search away. I’d make a quick shot with the camera of their print catalog but TinyPic.com also won’t cooperate with my mini operating system. My computer is currently entertaining boisterous folk.

Helpless with mirth! This is going viral!

I invented a black hole fly trap. You hang it from the ceiling on a bit of string and when a fly goes near it’s sucked in and crushed. Trouble is I dont know what to do with it when it gets too big.

I’m not sticking my hand in there. It has the power to amputate.
