El Recio
Details of a tattoo on the chest of "El Recio" (tough or hard guy in Spanish), 29, a former leader of the Mara Salvatrucha or M -13 gang in Honduras, is seen during a photo session at Comayagua jail, February 3, 2008. As a leader in prison, he has tattoos on his face and other visible body parts indicating rank in the gang and respect on the streets. El Recio has been in and out of jail since he was 12 and claims to have committed 14 murders. He is currently serving a sentence for various crimes including murder, extortion and drug trafficking. The tattoo includes the word "Coronado" (crowned in Spanish) which indicates he is a leader and the sentence "in memory of my homies" and their tombstones. Picture taken February 3, 2008.

Black Hole
In general relativity, a black hole is a region of space in which the gravitational field is so powerful that nothing, including light, can escape its pull. The black hole has a one-way surface, called an event horizon, into which objects can fall, but out of which nothing can come. It is called "black" because it absorbs all the light that hits it, reflecting nothing, just like a perfect blackbody in thermodynamics. Quantum analysis of black holes shows them to possess a temperature and radiate like black bodies.

Dance Around the Maypole by Pieter Brueghel the Younger (1564-1635)
A little Madness in the Spring
Is wholesome even for the King,
But God be with the Clown –
Who ponders this tremendous scene –
This whole Experiment of Green –
As if it were his own!
—Emily Dickinson
