    The nearby Andromeda galaxy, weighing 50% more than the Milky Way, will eventually gobble us up though.

    The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds along with North Korea form an axis of evil that present a clear and present danger to all freedom loving nations. You're either with us or againt us.

    No lets save the nukes for Iran, North Korea---those places......or july 4th...........

    Andromeda won't arrive in our neighbourhood for another 2,500,000,000 years.

    The Greater Magellanic cloud---a nearby proto-galaxy.

    If it is sticking it's finger in us, wouldn't it be a "Procto-galaxy"? :wink:

    That will be easily fixed by the great Super anti-matter nuke Death Star phaser that we will destroy them ALL with, thus making us vastly more superior
