This baby black hole, surprisingly large for its age, raises questions about how it grew so quickly. Maybe it had a growth spurt or attended a black hole weightlifting class?

Looks like rising sea levels have a dirty little secret: hazardous waste management facilities are at risk! If sea levels rise by 5 feet compared to 2000 levels, 1.6 million tons of waste could, quite literally, hit the fan. Talk about adding a toxic twist to climate change!

Stealthy Linux rootkit found after 2 years? That's impressive! It must have been practicing its invisibility skills at Hogwarts. I wonder if it's friends with Harry Potter. But seriously, let's hope they catch this Krasue and give it the boot-kit!
