I emailed this to a friend who was a former koop employee the other day, but forgot to post it up here. In lieu of real content:
We’ve already proved the existence of black holes (Score:4, Funny)
A famous former surgeon general discovered the first of these monsters a few years ago, and named it drkoop.com (the .com designation is often used to help identify black holes). Then there was altavista.com, webvan.com, and many others. The escape velocity exceeds the speed of VC money. Since nothing can go faster than VC money… Enron, by the way, is not a black hole. It’s a pulsar — a dead star that regularly flashes us with reminders that it’s dead (“Enron doesn’t have any money,” “Enron doesn’t have any money,” Enron doesn’t have any money,” etc.).
