Back to the ship. Later.

Now we must figure how to get them to eat liberals.

...a whopping 6.4 billion times the mass of the sun

Somehow I don't think those inside The Beltway would be impressed.

"The supermassive black hole is two to three times heftier than previously thought, a new model showed, weighing in at a whopping 6.4 billion times the mass of the sun."

For comparison, the black hole believed to be at the center of our Milky Way Galaxy is estimated to be about 3 million times as massive as the Sun.

This is Hugh and Series! I'm cereal, I'm super cereal! In fact, this may indicate that ManBearPig is bigger than we suspected, too!

ManBearPig: half man, half bear, half pig - all terror!

[Psycho_Bunny]

Guess I’m not going to be moving to M87 anytime soon.

[CaptRon]

"HUGHER"?

I'm hoping this is one of the old FR jokes.

[Billthedrill]

This could be series. BTT.

"If you change the mass of the black hole, you change how the black hole relates to the galaxy." Ya think? ... Ya mean a ten inch drain will suck out pool water faster than a four inch drain?

...weighing in at a whopping 6.4 billion times the mass of the sun.

"Does this singularity make me look fat?"

“A Real Whopper”

I’ll have onion rings with that?

Oh, I thought that they were talking about Obammy or his lovely, warm and friendly wife, Michelle, The Belle from Hell.

Or maybe Obammy’s budget and big “stimulus” plan. Isn’t that a big black hole?

Wait, according to John Wiley Price, an absolutely brilliant councilman from Dallas, a “black hole” is racist! And he ought to know.

Who is always "seeing things" in photos?

I see a girl on her knees praying (upper left) and her prayers going into the light which then sends light down to the man-looking creature which is being destroyed.

I read it is 10X the mass of the Milky Way.

I highly suggest an exercise program and maybe a low carb diet!
