#3 Confucius shrug. "News could be worse.
To lose Heaven's mandate's a curse,
But Pooh sure feel shitty
In Purple Star City

#17 Notice how "NASA" rhymes with "Massa"?

Coincidence?

Notice how "black holes" are destructive from our POV, while "white holes" could hypothetically be the birthplaces of new universes?

Coincidence?
