True that. The red giant phase comes before the black hole implosion thing. Of course, by then, we'll all have mastered the technology to move ourselves to another planet and colonize it the way we're advancing. Well, either that or whatever god we worship will have come to earth and blown the whole planet up and everyone on it.

Either way, I don't care. I'll be a distant page in history by the time any of this happens. :P
