No Tax Season in 7.59 Billion Years!

"If nature is left to its own devices, about 7.59 billion years from now Earth will be dragged from its orbit by an engorged red Sun and spiral to a rapid vaporous death. That is the forecast according to new calculations by a pair of astronomers, Klaus-Peter Schroeder of the University of Guanajuato in Mexico and Robert Connon Smith of the University of Sussex in England.

Dr. Smith called the new result 'a touch depressing' in a series of e-mail messages. Betcha the dude never had to go through tax season.
