Colliding Galaxies

The New York Times, among other papers, recently published a new Hubble photograph of distant galaxies colliding.

Of course, astronomers have had pictures of colliding galaxies for quite some time now, but with the vastly improved resolution provided by the Hubble Space Telescope, you can actually see lawyers rushing to the scene.

I remember an old Sierra Online game: Space Quest II (or was it III), where the cover of the game showed a picture of Earth getting 'attacked' with lawyers from space

Those were door-to-door salesmen. Not even Vohaul was going to send *lawyers* down. And it was Xenon, not earth. DO I play old games to much?
