Perplexed scribblers, news editors and subs everywhere are scratching their heads over the latest NASA news release entitled: "New Gravity Mission on Track to Map Earth's Shifty Mass. "As part of efforts to clarify the situation, one of my most avid spacewatchers, Nephew Mark 'Gas Giant' Hewish claims to have intercepted the following frantic communique with the mission itself......
Blackhole 1: "…er Houston, we have a problem. We appear to have come within the influence of a shifty mass, and things don't look too good. Looks like we're being sucked in by its gravity…what do you advise?"
Houston: "Well it'll depend on whether you're in the northern or southern hemisphere, because that determines which way you'll rotate when you go down the plughole. Other than that, looks like this is goodbye. Have a nice day!"
