Ritz Black dye? How do you remove dye on items it had contact with? Is there an item to buy to soak them in? I recently dyed a few items black.

Anyways, I now noticed that my black dyed capris must have bleed onto his shorts. How can I get these black marks off of his shorts? These shorts are Polo brand and I don't think he is going to be very happy with this accident? Any suggestions on how to get black dye removed from beige shoerts?

How do you visualize black holes in a spacetime fabric? Many popular science books make reference to black holes. When I picture a black hole, I tend to think of it as a pin-hole in a balloon....I think of this balloon as a universe surrounded by much less dense region. In this way, I think of a black hole like the drain at the bottom of a bathtub, with the matter sucked into it escaping into some other unknown region. I visualize the black hole this way because I tend of think of the universe like a big balloon (with boundaries). I know this is not correct, but my brain can't imagine a black hole floating freely about in the "balloon's" empty internal volume. Where would the matter escape too? Question-In-Summary: How should I visualize black holes using some earthly metaphor? With regard to the first answer below: I saw this documentary a couple of times, and I think it makes the same mistake I do, trying to visualize the universe as some kind of 3 dimentional blob with some galaxies and stars floating about inside of it.

How did black culture in America become the way it is today? It seems to be that in the earlier part of the 19th century, African Americans were just more real. And in the 60's...When did this whole sideways hat, big jacket, I have bling bling, culture come around? I live in a suburban area and all the black kids here seem to think that they have to get bad grades, dress a certain way (ghetto), listen to a certain type of music and act tough even though they come from nice houses and normal parents. I just want to know when the afro and the jazz/blues got lame and the swearing about hoes and bitches got cool. And why. I don't mean to stereotype or offend! I do know some black people who aren't like that at all. I just want to know how black culture came to be portrayed the way it is today. Mmmm yeah, wouldn't it be? However, we live on this thing called planet Earth. Not Disneyland.

How do I tell a white wire from a black wire, when both are black? I've got a lamp, and the switch broke. I'm trying to install a new switch. I understand the installation process, but I have to keep things straight between the black (hot) wires and white wires. However, on the lightbulb end, I have two black wires, one of which has white letters. On the power source end, I have only yellow/translucent wires, and one has black letters. Does anybody know for sure which is which? Do the black letters on a yellow wire mean it's black? Do white letters on a black wire mean it's white? Or do letters, in general, indicate one color or the other?
