hah!  Thanks for the tip!  I'll roll up into fetal position when nearing

Anyway, trying to understand something that until now has not been 
observed and is only but a prediction from a math model that may be 
incomplete -- which is how many scientists see the singularities of GR 
equations -- seems a bit off.  Some scientists are suggesting that 
blackholes are in fact stars made out of dark matter and energy.
