Spaghettification

"No one's ever died of spaghettification," exclaimed my husband during last night's episode of Nova Science Now.

Spaghettification, according to the program, is the name for the death one would suffer upon being sucked into the event horizon of a black hole. So now, I don't want to be the person who invents collective nouns, I want to be the person who invents the words for death caused by interaction with galactic entities.

Girl, I'm half Sicilian. I suffer from spaghettification at least once a week!
