  • theDashRendar, on 09/07/2009, -0/+10Our only hope of stopping the Andromeda Galaxy's relentless cannibalism?

    1) Send in 20-30 snub fighters with spunky wisecracking pilots, and aim for the galaxy's weak point.
    2) Try to offer it a ritualistic sacrafice to appease its appetite: Neptune or something
    3) Send the Milky Way at it on a full speed collision course - may the best galaxy win!

    So start blaming yourself, the user, for your perceived problems with digg.

    Wikipedia says we'll probably become good friends in a new Elliptical galaxy.

  • Kaegro, on 09/07/2009, -1/+1You know this isn't real right? According to the Flat Earth idio..huh Society, there is no outer space, so this clearly is shopped by the government so we keep funding the "space" program, which is really just a front for the Italian Mafia, I can see the pixals.
