At the risk of furthering the "me too, like some brain-dead AOLer"... ... it's a favorite to "me too". Just incredibly funny, I love the tone of incredulity... so ... relatable. Can't wait until we have to cope with some kind of "dark matter tendril 'metaspecies'" ... "What do you mean they're made out of undetectable non-particles that don't exist in 'standard model'^2?" "I mean, our new overlords can detect and interact with us, but we cannot detect or interact with them directly. And, they don't like being called 'they', sir..." Haha, the future is bright my friends, let me tell you! (And this isn't close to when "the sun" runs out of its fuel... speaking of bright...)

Are you familiar with Schlock Mercenary? It is a web comic (that has concluded) which features dark matter entities in a later story arc. There isn't much in the way of direct character interaction except through warfare because there is a tech that baryonic matter civilizations find very convenient that makes space uninhabitable for the dark matter creatures, and conversely those creatures can cause stars to blow up. Very interesting stuff, starts out much smaller scale than all that though.
