The black hole draws you inexorably inward. Time slows. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

I wrote a haiku

which I was about to share,

but then I thought, "screw it."

Notice to all users of the Holodeck:

There are safety protocols in place that cannot be deactivated without the approval of two commanding officers or the captain to protect users of the Holodeck from potential harm. However, every time the Holodeck is ever used in a nontrivial manner, no matter what the safety protocols say, the Holodeck turns into a deathtrap.

Unless you believe yourself to be adept at constructing a forcefield from your communicator and 19th century Earth tools, or you're at the very least not wearing a red shirt, you are strongly advised not to attempt to use the Holodeck until a designer comes up with a safety protocol that doesn't kill you whenever somebody looks at it funny. Even when you're not on the holodeck. Or in the same quadrant. Or time period.

In fact, if you are wearing a red shirt, Starfleet may not be the job for you

I was updating my Amazon wishlist today (it being my birthday in, like, a week), and I found my way to the bestsellers page. Number One on the list right now: The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream

That it's number one is not what interests me. What interests me is the "What Do Customers Ultimately Buy After Viewing This Item" section on that page:
