@Kaiser-Machead v.2.4: They're super-easy to do if they're behind a reflective surface, like in a frame behind glass. Just focus on the reflection of a light in the distance behind you, and your eyes will be focused to the correct depth to see the hidden image.

Where's my hot, sexy, naked Garrus?? I DEMAND NAKED SEXY GARRUS. <

@a.seivewright: Nonono, it's the Spocker, not the Shocker.

@corpore-metal: ... maybe? :) At least you get to see inside the thing before you're turned into human spaghetti. :)

@corpore-metal: Of course, if the black hole is big enough, the Roche limit ends up inside the event horizon and so might - *might* - not count. < <

@Akitsu: It couldn't really break apart like that, sadly. It's too large not to collapse back into a spherical shape under its own gravity. Now, the bits that break off, if they're small enough...

@Zadkiel: Eventually the process will reverse, in the distant future, but the timescale is so long odds are the Sun will vaporize both first.

@Adam Whitehead: I hate Jack McDevitt... I hate him SO much. XD

@petar1: I thought they were buried fairly deep in the Slowness after... whatever happened. I suppose the Zones could shift back fairly quickly afterward though...

@pixelsnader: No, hate the player too. They didn't have to choose to play the game. Make their lives as miserable as you possibly can within the bounds of law.

@Daveinva: Oh, well yes, you personally would be taking one for the team... unless you happen to be lucky enough to be hauling around a large-caliber weapon with which to do your tinkering at a safe distance. :)

@ILoveTRex: Mythbusters tried this with dropping poor Buster off of a crane. He kept losing limbs. :(

@sjct: Isn't that kinda like trying to escape an oncoming train by running down the tracks? I'd head for the edge of the flow, not the front. :)

@bob_d: Small price to pay for not losing a city's-worth of people. Besides, you don't need to walk up to the bomb to defuse it - just shoot the thing with a large-caliber weapon (assuming you've got one, obviously).

@Daveinva: Yeah, but the so-called 'dirty bomb' is mostly fiction and fear-mongering. Sure, you'll get a radioactive mess, but it's not going anywhere and is straightforward to clean up, unlike a second Sun appearing in the middle of town.

@Steve Williams: That's just shortcut some of the spiders with bad direction-sense take, trying to climb into your mouth. < <

@trevertalbert: Jumping spiders ARE adorable! Webby-spiders... not so much. XD

Wait what? Destroy wetland spiders that probably prey on the vast hordes of mosquitoes breeding in there? What could possibly go wrong!?

@gmuslera: Well yes, stars are primarily composed of hydrogen and helium, and in Sun-like ones the former is burned into the latter. Mixed in are small amounts of the 'metals' (ie. stuff heavier than helium); that stuff is what things like asteroids and terrestrial planets and dogs are made out of. :)

I love the "Oh we didn't do it, the people we hired did!" attempt at a dodge. Corporate responsibility in action!
