Which came first, the giant central black hole or the galaxy? Some astronomers now think that the black holes, that appear to be at the centers of all galaxies, are older than the surrounding stars. And what does that make us? Just part of the food that the black hole has collected for later consumption.

Of course, as I mentioned yesterday, our galaxy will get into a fight to the death (or possibly a mating dance) with the Andromeda galaxy long before we arrive on the plate.
