You would stay away from that part when you approach a black hole?

All I could think of was

California Sunshine
Sweet Calcutta Rain

The song remains the same.

The woman in the office next to mine is from Bombay/Mumbai. Does that count for anything?

First line of a limerick?

Concerning the Calcutta question, I was trying to relate back to the black hole comments. It didn't seem to go over. Oh well, they can't all be winners.

I just played with a fly on the screen.

It reacted pretty well at a contrasting cursor on white background, however pictures of other flies, spiders and nature made no effect.

Update! I tried to measure field of view of a fly. Turned out, it reacts quite well on anything about 270 degrees horizontally. Also, while doing this testing, (totally serious) the fly's back moved and released a drop of something!!

Also, it dances in circles if I move the cursor behind it. When I come from the front, it retreats from the thing.

If you blow on a standing fly it will turn and face into the moving air, I have found.

This even works on hibernating flys.

We all know that killer bunnies exist, because they are the ones responsible for the color green, like the dinosaurs that lived here many years ago, eating other green things, that were very similar to grass that is not yellow, which would surely look like the desert, if it was not inhabited by frustrated camels that take every mirage for a pond, which definitely does NOT have tunas watching Oprah every day, because the universe is expanding and preventing them from mating, which they usually do somewhere in M31, that’s going to break apart like the two neodymium magnets that shattered in my hands, much like the hands that penguins use to swim around in the ocean, which is completely absurd since quantum mechanics is incompatible with relativity, which clearly states that although aliens don’t like the color magenta, little furry things hanging from trees using their spider man powers become the most horrible of creatures in the movie where people go back in time to hunt dinosaurs, which, as I mentioned before, are green, proving that although it is not possible to teleport, it most certainly IS possible to be in two places at the same time, and that killer bunnies exist.
