Concerning: Black Holes

Black Hole = A hole in space-time caused by a collapsed star, visually characterized by a whirlpool of light and debris sucked toward the epicenter, otherwise known as the singularity, by the enormous gravitation pull of the exponential increases in mass. Although the effect is analogous in many ways to the black hole's earth-bound cousin the toilet, it is important to recognize that the manufacturing standard color of toilets is white and that catagorizing a black hole as the universe's waste disposal system is a risky proposition. However, it also must be noted that although materials such as toilet paper tubes, hairbrushes, and alligators would be equally prone to being sucked down both black holes and toilets, materials exiting a toilet simply depart from view while materials exiting through a black hole depart from reality as we know it. Furthermore, if one were to defecate into a black hole, it is in all likelyhood that the rectum would subsequently be sucked from the body followed by the large and small intestines, the stomach, throat, and tongue. No such effects occur when using a toilet though there are some toilets, particularly those in Europe, with a flush so powerful that some may fear that similar events might take place.

For further information regarding toilets and the forms toilets take, see Concerning: Confessional Booths.
