Convergence

Earlier this week I used the phrase "black hole" to describe some one at
work that doesn't respond to email. Then I started reading Ringworld by
Larry Niven. It discusses a massive super-duper nova that will spew
radiation all over the galaxy. Seemingly unrelated but then The Cat
turned on Nova last night. (Why? I have no idea. The Cat is a known
enemy of science in general and space in particular.) It was about a
black hole at the center of the Milkey Way. And it could end up spewing
matter all over the place. Similar to the book, but not like the
coworker (the only he spews is bullshit). (Freaker, as I type this
Rocket Man by Sir Elton is on the muzak. . . And a Shakira song but
that doesn't count.)
I don't know about you but this happens all the time; a string of
related concepts or incidences over the course of about a week or so.
Is it beacuse we are causing it to happen? Or are we just more attunded
to the concept at that particular time? Or is the universe just out to
tell us something. Probably not but I am going to throw together a
black hole shelter in the back yard. More than likely its just a case
of hypersensitivity or momentary interest.
