Thanks for that. I'll have Lieberman's face in front of me, every time I close my eyes, for the rest of the day.

I`m sure the Star Registry would be more than happy to sell you one. I don`t know what they charge for a black hole, but stars are pretty cheap. : )

Either there is, in fact, a point well before the event horizon where smaller such stars may coalesce yet a larger star would be torn asunder, or someone found that string of Christmas Lights I misplaced when I moved.
