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

That page will be kindling. DESPAIR, PUNY HUMAN!

But seriously, this conversation implies that we'll be able to hop off the planet at the last minute. Anyone consider the drastic climate problems we'll have even getting half as close to the sun? Plants will die, livestock will die, and we will die long before any cool fireworks (unless there's a surprise meteor.)
