[1] Indeed, I *must* have told this story before: one of the assignments I did for my Library degree was a bibliometric study.  I spend many days across several weeks haunting libraries such as those at the Royal Astronomical Society and Imperial College for indexes etc which would cover the literature of black holes.  I can essentially rerun the same searches now in a matter of seconds without moving from my desk.  What was interesting was that I found a black hole (or at least a dip) in the black hole literature (in the 80s I think it was).  none of the professionals (either the astronomers or my library science lecturers) could explain it.  It remains a mystery to me.

That must be when they got too close to discovering how pocket universes worked, so Grandfather deleted all the references and wiped their memories! ;^D

oooh, I like that suggestion.  If there's no 'real world' answer, let's go, now which was it, Watsonian rather than Doylian.
