[Chaos-l] Colbert Report makes fun of Andromeda Galaxy

[Michael Hrivnak]

Last night (Wednesday 1/14), the Colbert Report had a segment on the recent 
discovery that the Milky Way has about the same mass as the Andromeda Galaxy.  
(previously we thought Andromeda had about 50% more mass.)  It's pretty funny, 
and closes with a string of bad astronomy jokes.  It's also nice to see an 
astronomy story get this sort of attention in the main-stream media.

Here is a link to the episode.  This particular segment happens right after 
the first commercial.
