Just as a side note, "the heat-death of the universe" is a really cool phrase. It's fun to say, and it makes you sound all intellectual and stuff. Just try dropping it into ordinary conversation, and watch the results!
- - - Example 1 - - - Betty: How was your day at work? Bob: d00d it was SUCKS!!!
- - - Example 2 - - - Betty: How was your day at work? Bob: It was like the heat-death of the universe.
See how smart Bob sounds in example 2? Much smarter than he sounds in example 1, and all because of the phrase "the heat-death of the universe!" And if you respond to this special offer, the phrase "the heat-death of the universe" can be YOURS for only three easy payments of $39.95! But wait, there's more! We'll also throw in a monogrammed plaque proclaiming YOU - yes, YOU! - an OFFICIAL, HONORARY, NO-STRINGS-ATTACHED, SLIPPERY-WHEN-WET rocket surgeon! Order today!
