       The Black Hole of Calcutta measured 18 feet by 14 feet.  Give or take a foot, I have its equivalent downstairs.  It would be difficult to get twenty three living people in there, let alone the original one hundred and forty six.

    Unlike the Black Hole of Calcutta, which had two small windows,  the room downstairs has two relatively large windows. One of these windows has rotting wooden frame, that sits on top of a rotting wooden foundation. 

     So clearly there is much excitement, and fortunately it is not yet June 21st.
