Black Holes on Spinach


"For an astronomer, finding these insatiable black holes is like finally encountering people nine feet tall, whose great height had only been inferred from fossilized bones. How did they grow so large?" [Chung-Pei] Ma said. "This rare find will help us understand whether these black holes had very tall parents or ate a lot of spinach."

LOL! Who said scientists don't have a sense of humor!?!
