I wasn't aware that clouds of dust could be analyzed at that distance. Don't they have to read some source of radiation thru it? How do they know its spectrum signature, isn't effected by something else? Maybe this absorption signature is a combination of things getting in the way. Maybe the radiation source is a star or something, that's raspberry and rum flavored. Or at least enough of its spectrum is rum flavored to taint the spectrum analysis of the dust cloud. Does anyone reading this seriously think this news won't result in an endorsement for some alcohol based beverage? I guess we should rename the Milkiway Galaxy, the Raspberry Blast Galaxy. Since obvious a certain candy company is coming to its defense. How about the Raspberry Rum Ball Galaxy. Then at least chocolate is saved!

I mean come'on the center of the universe, where is that exactly? When did they travel there? Oh they just got back from their trip on galaxy shuttle # 420? These guys just love making up all this stuff since you keep paying them to make up these stories with your tax googles. I can just hear them laughing hysterically in their board rooms.

You see me and the boys were partying down with these hot alien chicks at the center of the galaxy when someone got a bit too drunk... Lets just say "alcohol abuse" and leave it at that... Was hoping it wouldn't be found this quick. I'll clean up the mess tomorrow. Sorry folks.

“Curiously, ethyl formate has another distinguishing characteristic: it also smells of rum”
