     I've often wondered how it got there myself. I have established 2
theories:

1) As in David Brin's novel _Earth_, some tinkering scientists create a black
hole and it gets loose, ultimately falling into the sun.

2) Maybe a black hole happened to be floating around in our area of space and
passed into the sun then.

I'd be most interested to hear you opinions, Mantis, as well as those of the
rest of this motley group.
