You can trust that FEMA is on it.. and the EPA which will declare it a SuPerFund site.

There’s also a possibility we could get hit by the Triangulum Galaxy, too.

So we could get a the old one-two punch!

Let’s not get too excited. Maybe this will a good collision like the time the guy with the chocolate bar collided with the guy eating a jar of peanut butter.

SO... our planet is moving at 250,000mph +/- the speed of our solar system, and +/- the speed of our planet around the Sun.

Still... it's a pretty smooth ride.

Which brings up a question.

If all objects in the Universe are moving, exactly what stationary object are they basing speed measurements on?

Please buy some 'galaxy' credits from me now, and in four billion Years, I will prevent the galaxies from colliding.

Our Milky Way is bound for a head-on collision with the similar-sized Andromeda galaxy, researchers announced today (May 31).

I tell ya, science writers should have at least some knowledge of the subjects they write on. The impending galactic collision has been common knowledge for decades.

That Mayan calendar-chiseler was on the right track, but off by a few years.

Well, if we keep our eyes peeled, might see some life as Andromeda goes rumbling by.

The Mayan calendar was right. The world galaxy will end on 12/21/ 4000002012.

Don’t lose any sleep over this, wondering what will become of mankind. Mankind will be long gone, I would give even money on 150 years.

So does this mean I don’t have to cancel any future appointments? or clean house? etc.

Just as I was about to get my papers in order, I read that it’s 4 billion years from now. I wonder if the Mayan calendar prediction will have any effect on this? Sounds like we’re doomed no matter what!

Four billion years from now, the Milky Way galaxy as we know it will cease to exist.

It'll be here before you know it.

I wonder if Goldman Sachs has a hedge fund setup to cover this bet?
