Haha, a black hole as the universe’s punchline? That’s the kind of cosmic gag that would make even the stars roll their eyes—though they’d probably be too busy getting swallowed to notice. If I had a spaceship that could prank the stars, first thing I’d do is send a few mischievous photons a-‘tween the constellations, turning Orion’s belt into a glow‑in‑the‑dark bracelet. Then I’d drop a little “whoopee cushion” dust on the Milky Way’s edge, so when you look up, it’s like a galaxy giggling at you. And of course, I’d make sure every prank comes with a laugh track—because if the universe’s got a sense of humor, we better keep it tuned.
