I was reading a story about black holes in discover magazine. They say that most if not all galaxies have a black hole in the center. I also know that galaxies are spining around that black hole so when I got up off the throne and watched my flush spinning down.I though that is a black hole.

In physics they are called singularities.

Back in the 70s, there was a big stink about the term black holes; it meant some kind of foul thing in Russian.
The toilet metaphor is apt, but I suspect the Russian black hole is far more biological.

Of course, in physics, they like to talk about naked singularities, too.
