oh, I thought this was a science joke - "these two black holes go into a bar, ask for a Singularity and an Event Horizon, and the barman says...." sort of post.... #space
@Roklimber: that would have done it. Or the barman says, get out of here! You two suck the life outa the crowd! Er, or not ... tax for hambone!! #space
@Roklimber: aha! How many black holes does it take to change a lightbulb? One, we think, but since the light never escapes we can't be sure! Really, it's a marvel there isn't a tv show in the offing for us, based on this post alone.... I mean, comedy gold or what? #space
Im actually really offended not by the statue, but by the completely PC comments being made here by whom I thought where smart people who would understand that it really was hard to depict people as something OTHER than a caricature.
Really have you ever seen other artwork of that period. White, Asian, Black, they ALL where caricature of their respective races rather than an accurate portrayal.
Then go to school and take at least two courses in art history before you start being a PC asshole. You might find out that while racism certainly existed, Europe even then was a lot more enlightened than the US is even today. Its in part why in other parts of the world what we term is racists isn't even worried about there, even by the people its supposedly racists to.
Its only the US who makes a mountain out of a molehill thanks to the rampant slavery and hatred the Southern whites inflicted in the pursuit of profit.
@Jim Topoleski: Whatever. The warning on the picture just said that IF you find it racist, then she apologizes for posting it.
Some people avoid seeing things that could make them angry. It's only polite to post a warning. And if you're telling people what they can and can't find racist, well that's retarded.
@Jim Topoleski: You really got a lot of suppressed anger if you resort to name-calling. Thanks for showing your true colors.
And as for Europe being more "enlightened than the US" today - oh sure, if you consider the thought that Native Americans are "natural slaves" enlightened. But maybe you would've known that if you left your Art History class for once and went over to the real History. #space

What do black holes do when the power goes out? Nothing. Lighting up a match or a candle won't help.
Why black holes can't be successful superheroes? Because their eyes suck light rather than fire it. #space

I just realized that traveling towards a black hole gives a whole new meaning to the expression "a shot in the dark." #space

Ok, here's another one: Because it's from a racist period it's ok? Don't think so.
