Did you know...
The word Chapel actually means "little cape".
Martin of Tours once gave part of his cape to a beggar. After he died he became a saint, and part of that cape was enshrined as a relic in a little church in France. The little church became known for it's capella. And eventually the term came to be used for all small churches.

The earth could become a black hole.
But, for the earth to be dense enough to become a black hole, it's present mass would have to be compacted to 18 cm in diameter. (so, don't worry, it's not very likely to happen soon)

Thank you for calming my nerves, Neal. I will sleep better tonight. I was really worried about that black hole thing.
