OK, maybe they could go back in time to before the Big Smuck and do . . . something to prevent it. (What?)

But how do you do that after everything's turned to jelly? I mean, your time machine doesn't work! The Enterprise wouldn't work even if it hadn't gone down in a blaze in whichever movie! When you're Smucked, you're . . . (No, I won't go there!)

frequency pulse emitter and flushing the neutrinos from the chiller array.

And you call yourself an engineer. Scotty spits on thee. I mock thee.

Scientists at working at the Princeton Unbelievable Physics Department have recently discovered that our Universe lies between two enormous slices of bread. At the time of this writing, they are still wrangling over what *kind* of bread, but the majority of the group favored 'Wonder' as the bread slices seemed "amazingly soft, chewy, and enriched with vitamins."

No word on how this will affect the physical constants of the Universe or when God will take the Big Bite, but theorists warn, "It could happen at any time. I mean, who can tell when God thinks it's lunchtime?"

More details to follow.
