Thanking the spiral-shaped celestial body for its 6.8 billion years of tireless service, Our Lord and Divine Creator announced Thursday His 'very difficult decision' to close down the Andromeda galaxy for good. 'Nobody ever wants to have to do something like this, but operating Andromeda on a daily basis has grown impractical and I can't in good conscience keep it going,' God said of the incomprehensibly massive nebula, which is home to more than 1 trillion stars and an untold number of planetary objects. 'So much has changed since I brought it into being, and to be honest, it's just not working out the way I'd hoped.' A spokesman for the Supreme Being issued an apology to Andromeda's 750 quadrillion resident life-forms, who as of midnight Eastern Time on May 15 will cease to exist.
