ATLANTA (AP) — Four bursts of X-ray energy have alerted astronomers to a black hole just 1,600 light years away from Earth, practically on the doorstep in astronomical terms...

Hmmm... If we're not careful we just might all be slurped up by one of those wandering black holes. In fact it probably wouldn't even matter if we were careful or not. They're pretty unstoppable. It seems that recent discoveries have shown them to be ubiquitous in our galaxy, drifting among the stars, and gobbling one up once in a while. The planets would be the hors d'oeurves.
