Bezoar: A bezoar is a ball of swallowed foreign material (usually hair or fiber) that collects in the stomach and fails to pass through the intestines.
Chewing on or eating hair or fuzzy materials (or indigestible materials such as plastic bags) can lead to the formation of a bezoar. The rate is very low and the risk is greater among mentally retarded or emotionally disturbed children. Generally bezoars are mostly seen in females aged 10 to 19.

LOL....We were talking about this earlier. The other two are great answers, but sometimes questions are not read all the way through. (*~*)
black hole |??blæk ?ho?l|
nounAstronomy
a region of space having a gravitational field so intense that no matter or radiation can escape.
• informal a place where people or things, esp. money, disappear without trace: the moribund economy has been a black hole for federal funds | juveniles lost for good in the black hole of the criminal justice system.
Black holes are probably formed when a massive star exhausts its nuclear fuel and collapses under its own gravity. If the star is massive enough, no known force can counteract the increasing gravity, and it will collapse to a point of infinite density. Before this stage is reached, within a certain radius (the event horizon), light itself becomes trapped and the object becomes invisible.
