Watching the doomsday crap on the History Channel the other day and one of their predictions was that a supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy would become active in 2012. They omitted the fact that it would be hundreds of thousands of years before we were affected by it if we were to be affected at all.

I thought the common theory was that super massive black holes are what forms our galaxy (as well as most others)....

Err... It's only about 26,000 light years to the core from here so the light of any event would be viewable in about that many years from the event, but since we are in plane with the core, the jet produced from that activity wouldn't bother us.
