EXTRA! Read all about it: Black Hole FARTS!

Post #1by don » 10.09.2003, 00:00

That's right folks!

NASA has confirmed the largest fart, and longest lasting (at 2.5 billion years) in the universe. It is being issued by a Black Hole in the Perseus cluster of galaxies. The "tone" of this fart is a Bb (B-flat), 57 octaves below middle-C. "... this is the deepest note ever detected from an object in the Universe."

It must be a REALLY BIG Black Hole! Image

:lol:

If they had provided the frequency, instead of the tone, it could have gotten even funnier -- Hertz / Hurts -- OUCH, don't jab me, it's just a joke. 8O
