| 98% | 1187, Hunter-Voss. That's the hotel, what? Where I live? Nice place, I sure guess. Is that part of the test? No, just warming up, that's all. It's not fancy or anything. You're in a desert, walking along in the sand when all this is the test now? Yes, you're in a desert, walking along in the sand when all of a sudden you look at it. What world? What desert? Doesn't make any difference what desert is completely hypothetical. But after my breathing, maybe you're fed up. Maybe you want to be by yourself, who knows?

You reach down and you flip the tortoise over on his back, Leon. You make up these questions, Mr. Holden, and they write them down for you. The tortoise lays on his back, his belly baking in a hot sun beating his legs trying to turn himself over, but it can't. Not without your help. Would you not help him? What do you mean I'm not helping? I mean you're not helping. Why is that Leon? They're just questions, Leon. In answer to your query, they're written down for me.

Let me tell you about my mother. | ▶️ |

And so what happens is for quite a while, the matter which is being dumped into the black hole glows so much at all wavelengths that it completely dominates the light from the star, which you might find to be oscillating back and forth. So you have to wait for a while until this thing fades, until the black hole stops stealing material from the companion star. So we waited. | ▶️ |
| 98% | There's an error of expectation and anticipation and concern in the air here in Baghdad. A senior official left New York today to present to Iraq's side of the case of the Security Council if he can get their group of members together to address. Tariq Aziz, the deputy prime minister who's on that mission, told CNN last night he reaffirmed that Iraq remained ready to shoot down any spy planes that flew over Iraqi air space in a scheduled flight as planned tomorrow and the next few days. | ▶️ |
