... or is it far?
 
Physics news on Phys.org

Season 3 of the Mighty Boosh did a really awesome parody of avant-garde films.

This sounds more like Dr. Seuss.

Is the singularity near or far?
Is it in that nice red car?
Is the singularity in a house?
Or is it with a small brown mouse?
The singularity ate my ham!
I do not like it, Sam I Am.
