Damien Broderick mentioned "the fabled Bean Dip Catastrophe" as an
explanation for a black hole at the center of the universe. I'm honestly
unaware of this fable. Does it relate to George Castanza's double-dipping
faux pas? Please illuminate.

Actually, I wasn't kidding. My consistent mispelling of "coordinate"

igornance--especially my own--very funny. (Indeed, as my questions above
indicate, I count on others to take my ignorance very seriously.)
