They've probably already found it and are salivating over their LCD screens

Astronomers from the University of Toronto have found evidence for an enormous electrical current, being generated by a SMBH (Supermassive Black Hole) in the centre of a galaxy 2billion light years away. The current that they detected is on the order of 10^18 amps, which is lighting up the jet from the centre of the galaxy, out to a distance of 150Kly.

The current is the equivalent of a trillion terrestrial lightening bolts.

This will probably become the poster child for more moronic pronouncements from the sparky clan. Despite the amperage, it still wouldn't be enough to light their collective neural matter's light bulbs

For the real deal....the journal paper is here...http://arxiv.org/abs/1106.1397
