In other news, the black hole at the center of the Milky Way was found to have cavities...

Makes sense. Especially if you leave them in the freezer.

Surrounded by orbiting peanuts

Observations indicated large quantities of the sugar frozen to a temperature only a few degrees above absolute zero, the point at which all molecular movement stops.

Except, of course, "zero-point" motion...

Any astrophysicists out there care to describe how *hyrdrocarbons* formed?

Hydrogen, helium, on up the periodic table.
Up to cubic zirconium ;-)

But sugars? And why at the center of the galaxy?
A cosmic refutation of Atkins?

Hungry for knowledge...

I beg to differ. Isn't it nugatt (whatever the heck that is) at the center of a Milky Way?
But if this story is true, does this mean the universe is anti-Atkins?

Darn it!

I KNEW I should have paid more attention in those astronomy classes.

Dr. Horkhiemer? A little help, here?

Astronomers have found a cloud of frozen sugar near the centre of our galaxy

Now if we just had 53 billion barrels of tea!

I thought there was creamy nougat at the middle of a Milky Way.

Well, sometimes dreams come true. And it reminds me of an old commercial for Mars bars from the 50s.
