On a side note ... you know what would really suck? Getting sucked into a black hole. While I've always been fascinated by the solar system/planets, I've always been terrified of black holes. There's just something about the sucking vaccum of a black hole that's rather terrifying ...

Did you know that if I were in a space ship and was a distance of about 10 times the black hole's radius away from the center of a black hole, that it would take only about 8 minutes to get sucked to the horizon, (depending on the size of the black hole,) and then only another 7 seconds to reach the singularity (center.) And of course, once you reach the center of the black hole the force of gravity is so great that it rips your body apart. Sounds like fun, doesn't it?
