| not needles |

so of all the words in a song, you focus on the word needles then google it and find this website on how to use a needle to solve a mathematical problem the monte carlo way. two days later one of the physics articles you're copyediting has the word needle thrown here and there. the next thing you know, you go home and find needles strewn all over your bed but you're so tired you lay and fall asleep on it straight away. the morning after, you wake up, one needle drifting in your bloodstream, waiting for a day to prick you from the inside.
uhmmm....no.

you can use a needle to find the value of pi (π = 3.14159265358979323846…), the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. just get a tabletop with parallel lines drawn on it with equal spacing. then get a needle whose length is equal to the spacing between the parallel lines. drop the needle on the table, and it will either cross/touch one of the lines or not cross any line. continue dropping the needle over and over again, at the same time recording the number of times it is dropped (D) and the number of times it crosses a line (C). eventually, you will find that the value of 2D/C tends toward pi.
this approach to estimating the value of pi is called buffon's needle experiment, named after french mathematician and scientist georges-louis leclerc, comte de buffon.
some some sites with java applets simulating buffon's needle experiment: by george reese, by hurbenm, at interactivate.

| she is a spaceship and he is a black hole |

as she gets closer to him
* she would accelerate toward his singularity, eventually fusing with it and becoming one with him.
or
* his intense gravity would break her down into subatomic particles in a dazzling spray of energy
or
* his singularity would create a warp, opening a door to other dimensions in space and time, allowing her, if she could endure the intense gravity, to travel to other galaxies of light-years away
(But before any of these happens, she will appear to slow down and stop just before his event horizon, without ever going in.)
