Shit's all sorts of different now.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Romulan ships use black holes for propulsion, right?
Did someone check this guy for pointy ears and a bowl haircut?

Our wings are not tired.
Physicists may have accidentally created a black hole in the lab
I would like this in my back yard if it slowed down time for me.
Poor Not!Dead!Dick. Rumors of his death may have been exaggerated. It could be that AP (or whoever) was just putting together their materials for when it does happen. It was before NYE that he had his stroke I thought. Last I heard he was slowly improving.

Is the plasma ball with the black hole in the middle (that is most likely of no threat to me) still in existence, or did it die its 1/10 million million billionth of a second death like all the other plasma balls with no balck hole?
A teeny black hole like that wouldn't last very long. So it probably didn't much outlast the plasma ball.

What a great excuse. "My journal article? Yeah, no. It got sucked into the black hole on my desk. Again."

Thanks, Gud. My reason told me that was probably the case, but the confirmation is kind of comforting.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Um, it's not thought to pose a threat? Counldn't they have said, "it absolutely positively has 0 percent chance of sucking life the universe and everything into its hungry black maw, we promise"? Somehow I'm not feeling comforted.
Since the scientists aren't able to make mass out of nothing, I imagine it's a pretty wee black hole. And since it was suspended in their accelerator along with all the other charged particles, probably not much of a threat for getting loose, growing, and becoming a danger.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

There is a Dead!Dick today, but it was Dick Radatz, once a relief pitcher for the Red Sox whose nickname was "The Monster."

At least not until Congress cuts their funding.
