paradox writes "Reuters is reporting that scientists have found a massive black hole 40,000 light-years away that could change the way scientists think about black holes. The mass of this particular black hole is 14 times the mass of the sun, compared to the typical mass of 3 to 7 suns."
Hello! Light-years!

Uhm, you do know how far away "40,000 light years" is? Assuming you could even travel that far, and find a way to tap the energ, how would you send it back? If you used a laser beam, it would take 40,000 years to get here! I rather hope the energy crisis will be over by then!
We all knew that already

The huge hole is in the behind of that nice man people link to all the time. Silly scientists. They obviously hadn't searched the Goatse sector for huge phenomena very well. Come to think of it, another recent report...from my pants, says that a huge, mighty, fearsome phenomenon has been discovered.
