Scientists: Black Cats Cannot Become Black Holes
Despite numerous media reports, scientists at the CERN Laboratory in Geneva have rebuked the notion that a tightly wound black cat could accumulate enough mass to generate a rift in the time-space continuum.
“It’s nonsense,” says Gottfried Horner, a noted theoretical physicist. “Just scare tactics from the anti-cat media.”

Well this is certainly … something.
My first thought when I saw the envelope from Phil’s temporary (big) house with the typed up label was, “Oh how nice, they must have given him computer access! Or maybe Mikey brought him some printed labels to facilitate correspondence.” (This is how I sound when I think, yes.) Then I thought, “Well I’m sure that he’s not hurt or anything, because if he were, I wouldn’t be hearing it from the jail.”
What I assuredly did not think was, “I bet this is a notice that the Whitney Houston memorial edition of Essence magazine I sent him has been deemed contraband,” but oh indeed, that’s exactly what has happened here.

cocknbull reblogged sixtyforty:“Many adults are put off when youngsters pose scientific questions. Children ask why the sun is yellow, or what a dream is, or how deep you can dig a hole, or when is the world’s birthday, or why we have toes. Too many teachers and parents answer with irritation or ridicule, or quickly move on to something else. Why adults should pretend to omniscience before a five-year-old, I can’t for the life of me understand. What’s wrong with admitting that you don’t know? Children soon recognize that somehow this kind of question annoys many adults. A few more experiences like this, and another child has been lost to science. There are many better responses. If we have an idea of the answer, we could try to explain. If we don’t, we could go to the encyclopedia or the library. Or we might say to the child: ‘I don’t know the answer. Maybe no one knows. Maybe when you grow up, you’ll be the first to find out.’”
