    @crashedpc: Waiting a day to re-read it has done nothing to improve it, so unlike wine or cheese, bad jokes do not improve with age.

    Depending on the location in the universe, the water vapor goes down clockwise or counter-clockwise.


    And +1 for more SUPERMASSIVE BLACK HOLES

    Does this mean that millions of lightyears away, Glondarkian Bloggers are discussing the lameness of their Aquaman?


    This science is so cool.
