The big black hole at the center was formed by a little black hole that ate up vast quantities of chocolate and peanuts. Hmmmm... now maybe someone can write a children's Astronomy story book on the theme. It ate and ate and ate until it became so big that it began to gobble up everything around it ... That’s it.

Cause when it does, that's when the REAL trouble's gonna start... I hope that supermassive black hole doesn’t get kicked out of the bar anytime soon!

These macroscopic strings may describe chord construction for Five-String & Plectrum Banjo better than SM currently does :-) It’s an energy bar of course, some 27,000 light years of chocolare, crunchy peanuts and three layers of macroscopic strings.

There are so many funny directions in which to go with this... and we have not even started on the alcohol-based ones yet... -cvj Hi, Athena and Gordon, It’s better than that….in the article, there is a section entitled “bar food”, where they talk about the speculations that the bar geometry could be involved in feeding matter into the black hole at the centre of the galaxy….
