I was hoping you'd offer since you have a day off and always complain that the dog never chooses to sit with you.. How stupid of me to think that you might consider I'd need a break from the responsibility in order to get on with my own things.. [mostly, I don't dislike walking the dog, sometimes it's quite enjoyable for me as well as him but I'm a little jaded with being buffeted by weather and covered in mud and I have things to do and a bastard of a headache and quite frankly, I want a day off]

As do all the journos reporting it sheep-like across the media. Actually Black Holes make a whole load of sense too.

"So this happened more than a million light years ago/away and all we have to show for it is a funny bleep?" It's much more important said Brian - we can see that a black hole was travelling at a third of the speed of light which is incredibly fast and as it approached another black hole it's speed went from one third of the speed of light too two thirds of the speed of light in less that a tenth of a second,. and the combined big black hole is 60 times bigger than the sun] well yes Brian - and how exactly is that going to affect us??

It settles a long-standing question in theoretical physics & astronomy, which is important partly because it's relevant to figuring out the apparent inconsistencies between relativity and quantum mechanics. People probably thought that relativity was never going to affect them when Einstein was writing, but if you have a GPS, you're benefiting from QM (for the semiconductors in the integrated circuits) and relativity (very very accurate timing of satellite motion) every time you use it, so, even if a black hole a long way away isn't going to affect you, it's not a stretch to imagine that technology employing the theory that goes with this might affect you at some time in the future.]
