Largest Object in the Universe Discovered

It looks like we've got the Immunity Syndrome.
Il n'y a pas de Planet B.
It's even bigger than Bono's ego!
Religion for nerds. Stuff that really matters
That's 200 MILLION light-years wide, you dumbasses. :) I'd like to see a galaxy that fits in 200 LY, not to mention a cluster of them.
If you open yourself to the foo, You and foo become one.
it's almost as big as my wife!
I'm sure "SlashdotMedia" will improve on all the wonders that Dice Holdings blessed us all with
"The structure we discovered and others like are probably the precursors of the largest structures we see today which contain multiple clusters of galaxies" :D
So they found Windows Vista code repository...
Largest object in the universe and full of hot gas
And yea on the 7th day G-d rested, after taking his gas-x ; )

Fear the coming of the Great White Handkerchief!
What, isn't that supposed to be "Your momma"?
Up to 200Million from 200? That's BLOATWARE if I've ever seen it.
Microsoft OS used to work on a 8Mhz machine and now will require a 4Ghz machine(4000Mhz) to run well(MS Vista.) That's only a 500x increase. The 1,000,000 time increase here makes that look like a drop in the bucket!
The universe making MS look good! Gotta love it.
There are lies, damned lies, and statistics.
What's next? A giant space crystal coming to attack Orion?
I bet it was written in java.
I've seen this before. The only way to protect ourselves is to detonate an antimatter bomb inside its nucleus.

If this thing combines with the smug cloud from George Clooney's Academy Award acceptance speech, we're all doomed!
I, for one, welcome our new multi-hundred-thousand light year diameter, bubbly gaseous amoeba-like alpha blob overlords.

That's what they told me it was - that's why I got on this ship along with all the other telephone sanitizers...
