Absolutely! As we know, black holes abosrb everything[0] -including light-,
so clearly they are less dangerous than the Sun, which emits lots of light.
On a similar line, it is obvious that black paper will absorb more
radiation. Ideally, we should also switch all of our ink to black ink too,
in order to further reduce the danger of accidental irradiation through the
irresponsible use of bright colours.
It'd make writing these documents that I'm doing a damn sight easier too... ;)

Well...It could be, but is the person uses a dark
font on a light
background
[IMHO as it should be], then the increased area
of backgound actually
increases radiation!
Are you shure? I mean, if a light backgroung emmits
more radiation, then we should switch for black paper
as sonn as possible.
