Colin McEnroe Show: The End Of Everything

All things must pass, and -- trillions upon trillions of years from now -- the universe itself will have fallen apart and dissolved into a soupy sea of waste particles. There will be as close to nothing as the most imaginative person could imagine.

So, when my son called a few hours ago to tell me that our upstairs toilet had met a similar fate, I was able to take it in stride. We ordered a new toilet. When the universe ends, there will no one to order anything. There will be no order.

By that time, all kinds of really horrible things will have happened, including the cessation of humankind who, if they're smart, will have moved off this planet by the time the sun blazes up into a dangerously expanded dying ball. For a long time, it will be good news for microbes, until their number gets called too. Unless God saves us.
