These Collisions are INDEED not that rare...Its my understanding that there is a matter stream trailing out of our own Milky Way Home galaxy that is evidence that we have passed through another galaxy at some time in the past.
And of course, there is our rendesvous with Andromeda in only 300million years to anticipate...Who's driving the Bus??? Mr Magoo?

Actually I believe the estimated time for this titantic collision of galaxies is more like 2 billion years. Andromedia is larger than our Milky Way but from what I have read, the MM contains more matter. Should be interesting. Now if I could only live a few billion more years.
