Galactic Pancake Mystery Solved

mOoZik writes "According to the BBC, Astronomers have figured out why a series of small galaxies surrounding the Milky Way are distributed around it in the shape of a pancake. Theorists believed that the eleven dwarf galaxy companions should have a diffuse, spherical arrangement, but a University of Durham team used a supercomputer to show how the galaxies could take the pancake form without challenging cosmological theory."

LISTER: (to KRYTEN) See? You see what he's like? He winds me up, man. There's no reasoning with him. KRYTEN: If you'll allow me, Sir, as one mechanical to another. He'll understand me. (Addressing the TOASTER as one would address an errant child) Now. Now, you listen here. You will not offer ANY grilled bread products to ANY member of the crew. If you do, you will be on the receiving end of a very large polo mallet. TOASTER: Can I ask just one question? KRYTEN: Of course. TOASTER: Would anyone like any toast? KRYTEN: Didn't you HEAR what I just said? TOASTER: Yes, but I thought you might have changed your mind in the meantime.
