Hundreds of Black Holes Roam Loose In Milky Way
sciencehabit writes "From Science: 'Astronomers suspect that hundreds of medium-sized black holes are roaming loose in the Milky Way. These rogues, according to a new study, are the orphaned central black holes of the many smaller galaxies that the Milky Way has swallowed over its billions of years of existence.'"
Anything else we need to be worrying about?
Perhaps all our money really WAS disappearing through a black hole!
My kind of galaxy!
Gamma-ray bursts = an advanced civilization switching on its own LHC.
If I found hundreds of "black holes" in my "Milky Way", surely that would mean it's an Aero?
I'll grab my coat ...

The Black Holes were created by the Large Hadron Collider during the short time that it was online, before the radioactive liquid helium leaked out and freeze-burned its way down toward the center of the earth (China Syndrome), where it was reflected back up and surfaced in a pig patch in Mexico, and irradiated sick pigs with Swine Flu, which mutated into the Mexico Flu, and hopped a ride on some poor little kid, who passed it on to Mexico city.
Seems all pretty plausible to me.

Take this wise lesson from Red Dwarf:
"Well, the thing about a Black Hole, its main distinguishing feature, is it's black. And the thing about space, your basic space colour is black. So how are you supposed to see them?"
*later on*
"They weren't Black Holes."
"What were they?"
"Grit. Five specks of grit on the scanner-scope. See, the thing about grit is, it's black, and the thing about scanner-scopes..."
"Oh shut up!"
To do something right, you often have to roll up your sleeves and get busy.
Its obvious, that in order to be more eco-friendly and healthy, the central-black holes in democratically controlled galaxies have gone free-range to avoid contributing to universal warming. Its the damn republican black hole at the center of the Milky Way, sitting there, denying universal climate change that needs to be shown the error the of its ways. I say, lets raise taxes on republican black holes so that we can share the wealth and help the black holes in poorer, predominantly democratic galaxies become empowered, thus giving them the opportunity to become free-range black holes.
I'm reasonably sure there's one in my ex's purse. Money goes there to die.
I've calculated my velocity with such exquisite precision that I have no idea where I am.
Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the drug store, but that's just peanuts to space.
For the love of Christ, Republicans! You know that line about anti-zombie research? Don't fucking touch it! You saw what happened when you cut funding for volcano and pandemic flu research!

... So yes, I see your point.
Oh good! Everyone, feel free to breathe again... MichaelSmith says we won't have to rewrite classical mechanics after all.

There aren't too many slashdotters that can relate to your analogy. May I suggest a car one instead? ;)
I want peace on earth and goodwill toward man.
We are the United States Government! We don't do that sort of thing.
