A black hole isn't a monster. It's not even alive. That means it can't lurk, eat, or belch. It has no dark, destructive desires.

Of course, you may have already figured this out. But you know what else?

A black hole is NOT a hole—
at Least not the kind you can
dig in the ground
or poke your finger through.
You can't just walk along
and fall into one.
A black hole isn't a hole
like that.
