News You Can Use [Dan Collins]

Let this be a lesson to you:

Gluttonous stars trapped inside star clusters

Stars fattened by stealing matter from their neighbours get trapped in the centre of the star clusters they dwell in, Hubble Space Telescope images reveal.

A new study of the images also suggests that any black holes contained in these clusters must be relatively small.

Massive groupings of stars called globular clusters behave like cosmic sorting machines. Over time, interactions between the stars cause the most massive ones to settle near the centre of clusters, while less massive stars stay farther out.

A class of stars called “blue stragglers” has previously been observed to congregate near the centre of globular star clusters. Blue stragglers are unusually hot and bright and are thought to be stars that have gained mass either by slowly stealing matter from a companion, or perhaps by colliding and merging with another star.

Among stars, these so-called “blue stragglers” are known as clusterfuckers.



Hot?  Yeah.  Bright?  Who cares?

    Blue Stragglers is gonna be the name of my next band.

    Sounds like Hollywood.

  3. McGehee says:

    Gluttonous stars are why space is curved, yanno.

  4. Pablo says:

    Sure, she’s bright. Batshit crazy, too! I’d hit it. Repeatedly.

    Admittedly, it isn’t a terribly wise plan, but hey…

    As though it was an option.  You are an asshole.

  6. Dan Collins says:

    david–

    I think that was meant as a jocular comment.  Why so hostile?

  7. Sockpuppet in training says:

    Dan, be understanding.  Maybe he just caught 3 guys attempting to make his wife airtight.

    As though it was an option.  You are an asshole.

    Oooooooooooh, davie’s peeved. Are you just put off by women? You should be embarrassed to hold so strongly an opinion on a subject you know nothing about. And, yeah, I wouldn’t mind jumping on into that picture myself.

  9. cranky-d says:

    david gives a bad name to other davids, like me.  Still, I guess there’s always one wanker out there with the same name as you.

  10. B Moe says:

    You are an asshole.

    I can’t believe you wrote this, david.  Seriously, you obviously know nothing about assholes.  You should call a proctologist immediately, he could explain to you what a fool you are making of yourself.

  11. ahem says:

    david: Fuck off. Who fucking asked you anything?

  12. Angelina says:

    Oooooh, david!  My knight in shining armour, come to save me from these inhuman monsters who would sully me with their impure thoughts!

    I’ve given ten pieces of silver to the palace guards to look the other way.  Won’t you come to my bedchambers this night, that I might express my true gratitude for your chivalric protection?

    By snapping you like a fucking twig, you dickless little twirp. You’re like the fucking UN, in so many ways.

  13. Hmmm, and I thought it was the Goo Goo Clusters (which would also be a good name for a band) that made you fat.

    Now that’s brilliant!

    Hey, if you really want to see david go off of the deep end, just say that Harry Reid is a crook. A comment ‘lanche the likes of which you have rarely seen will occur. Hilarity ensues!!

    Pablo; how will you recover from the crushing blow of david’s stings and arrows? I’m thinking a certain scarlet tablet found ‘neath the sofa pillows…

    Anybody wondering why the leftards are getting more abusive and short tempered the closer they get to their great Nov. victory?  HMMMMMMMMMMMMMM….

  15. ThomasD says:

    Perhaps someone should clarify that ‘I’d hit it’ is internet vernacular for ‘I would engage in sexual intercourse with that person.’ Nothing more than an updated version of ‘hubba hubba.’

    Surely David must not understand this usage, otherwise he would have no reasonable justification for overreacting to such a harmless statement.

  16. BJTexs says:

    ThomasD: In your editing process you missed the fact that you used “reasonable justification” and “David” in the same sentence. You really should watch those mixed metaphors…

  17. Chairman Me says:

    Perhaps someone should clarify that ‘I’d hit it’ is internet vernacular for ‘I would engage in sexual intercourse with that person.’

    Actually, I would like to beat the crap out of her while banging her. You know she’s into it–likes the taste of blood more than even her brother’s pearl drops–so don’t judge either of us.

  18. BJTexs says:

    Chairman Me: david’s at the door with a squad of PC police. they’re talking about “kicking some partisan asshole…”

  19. ThomasD says:

    …so don’t judge either of us.

    My bad, I apologize.

    Well, at least I apologize to Chairman Me.

  20. What does that say on her arm?

    (Hint: This is a straight line for you wiseguys.)

    tw:congress77 (don’t even go there)

    PC police? Don’t make me bust out the Michael J. Fox jokes.

  22. MarkD says:

    I thought it was Charlize Theron playing a strung out junkie.  Glasses, that’s what I need for Christmas.
