I have a black hole in my house!

Yes, I really do. Actually, it seems to be following me from place to place. It really likes to eat stories - honestly - that seems to be a favorite. But mostly it likes annoying little things. Like jug lids. For example, before the roomie had bypass surgery last year, she'd make up quarts of drink in old juice bottles - hey, it keeps them outta the land fill and recycling for a while. But because she's just a tad blind, and the cats are SO helpful, things get lost. After she goes a week or so without a lid, she would finally recycle the jug. Well, since the bypass surgery, she tends to use the smaller bottles instead of the larger, because she can't drink as much at one time and they get warm (read HOT) faster so she keeps the smaller bottles. ANYWAY... So, she was sitting at her computer tonight and she heard a "clink" then a rattling noise falling down the back of her desk (that mind you, we've had out several times lately what with the new computer being put in place, then the new monitor and finally, new speakers). The object fell out from behind her desk and rolled out into the middle of the floor. It was a lid to one of the big jugs. One of the jugs she hasn't used in almost 6 months. From a place that she wouldn't have put the lid to get knocked off from. To fall behind her desk - that, remember, we've had out several times since the last jug was retired to the recycling bin... It had to be that DARNED black hole. It sensed that the lid wasn't valuable any more, so it spit it out. Or MAYBE... Maybe its a little Rift like the one in Cardiff... Maybe we'll be getting a visit from Capt Jack... What do you think?
