the worst article in the world

Just a little rant on this terrible article...

Source: http://www.myfoxhouston.com/dpps/news/scientist-black-holes-grow-big-by-eating-stars-dpgoha-20120403-fc_18991303 (Don't click on this and give this terrible article more page views than it deserves)

First off that title. My god. It's like saying "Doctor: Smoking Can Lead to Lung Complications"

Second, there's a grammar mistake in the second paragraph of the freaking article. I do that, but I also don't have  a paid editor, or get paid at all, shit.

Also, this person's writing style is simply horrendous. For example:

"Apparently, black holes increase in mass and diameter by on a [sic] hefty intake of stars. Research suggests that 'black holes grow enormously as a result of sucking in captured binary star partners,' according to Utah's Prof. Ben Bromley, who authored the study."

An 80 year old man has better flow than this person...c'mon. What the hell is a hefty intake of stars, anyways? Is that just a couple billion more pounds of stellar mass than usual? OM NOM NOM NOM

Does not belong to Musingsontap. Luckily you can find anything on the internets.

Lastly, this is nowhere near new news (quadliteration?!) NASA had a video of black holes eating stars a while back, and I'm pretty sure my Astronomy textbook (published in '07), had a section on this.

Charles Barkley says "this article is turrible"

You could point out this is Fox News, whatever, but if this person gets PAID to write shit like this, sign me up.

Love jibberish

Karma's a bitch but you can put her on a leash,

Thought about founding a program, one for the less intelligent folk who choose to abuse alcohol and cigarettes. With this program, a drinker would donate a lung to a smoker in exchange for a portion of said smoker’s liver, thereby alleviating the needs of both (more of a trade than a donation). However, a disclaimer would piggyback any literature for this program, stating that such a process would not necessarily provide the parties involved with a new found ability to make healthful decisions. This program- aptly named Lungs for Livers ®. I am, of course joking, unless this amasses the support (fiscal and otherwise) necessary to materialize.
