Very cool.

Now only if I could figure out how one of the pair of socks I put in the dryer ended up there.....

but I was also somehow a bit disappointed.



Guess I was expecting some sort of Bill Clinton-Monica Lewinsky joke at the end.

Oh, I KNOW that they exist! In fact, I have few micro black holes scattered around my house. The various piles of clutter are their debris disks. If anything falls into the center of a pile, it never comes back out again. I'm worried that one day my house will become one big singularity. That will really be harsh. Imagine trying to get a cable repairman to come then! :confused2:

The cool factor in this is the actual visual distortion of the stars that pass behind it. Amazing.
