Ripples in the Space-Time Continuum

[Doggy Styles]

Why black 'holes'? A hole gives the impression they allow passive from one void to the next when the truth is probably anything but.

'Holes' because everything falls into them (and cannot escape)

'Black' because everything includes light.

I have holes in pants. Nearly all of the time I can escape out of them.

Can light be produced without atoms? If atoms do not exist within a black hole then light it does not contain.

But to step out of ones pants requires a sense of Topology - and until somebody goes bravely over that event horizon and into the Black Hole they we can only guess as to whether Light is there - or Not.

BTW who remarked that Fings aint wot they used to be ?

Be that as it may - its all in the mind - so nothing really mattered anyway.

Perfect.

Hmm - new teeth - thats weird .

So where were we - oh yeah -Holes.

As in War Holes - Alfie- Warhol - or was it Black Holes ?

Are you Ready ?

Alfie walking, Alfie tired
Andy take a little snooze

Tie him up when he's fast asleep
Send him on a pleasant cruise
To ponder on a Black Hole
Or Two

When he wakes up on the sea
Be sure to think of me and you
He'll write a wee verse
And he'll become somewhat terse
What a jolly boring thing to do

Yes, more childhood memories. One of my first albums.

Why Thank You DS and EO for those kind words.

And I do apologise to those whom find this thread annoying - and to the small children who may have been frigthened away by this thread.

Recently I have came to the conslusion that perhaps we would be better off with such disctractions such as poetry etc especially in the cut and thrust world of IT contracting - dont you think my dears ?

So tomorrow I shall post the Final Friday Poetry Corner - and it will be time for Alfred to go to sleep.

Our revels now are ended.
These our actors,
As I foretold you, were all spirits, and
Are melted into air, into thin air:
Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve,

And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
As dreams are made on; and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep.


A demain mes amis ...

Looks to me that black holes are Gods safety net to stop any organism evolving beyond Gods capabilities, destroying all matter and organic life in their path.

I've read articles that state that black holes are not really celestial vacuum cleaners but I disagree.

Aye S

Perhaps one day we shall discover we are all simply lost socks vainly searching our partner sock somewhere in the Laundromat of Oblivion down at the Cosmic Cleaners ... well something along those lines.

Only Solitaire

... so where were we then - new teeth - that's weird ...



Aha Of course - the Friday Poetry thingy !

Brain-storming habit-forming battle-warning weary
winsome poster spewing spineless pointless posts
all the critics falling over to tell themselves he's boring
and Alf is really not an awful lot of fun.

Well who the hell can he be when Alf has never had V.D.,
and he doesn't even sit on toilet seats?

Court-jesting, never-resting --- he must be very cunning
to assume an air of dignity
and bless us all with his oratory prowess,
his lame-brained antics and his jumping in the air.
and should long be dead with cancer by now .

And every night Alfs act's the same
and so you say
... it must be all a game of chess he's playing ---
" But you're all wrong, you see - it's only solitaire.''
