Cheerful quotes from How the Universe Will End, Time magazine's cover story this week:

     "Finally... all that will be left in the cosmos 
     will be black holes, the burnt-out cinders of 
     stars and the dead husks of planets. The universe 
     will be cold and black."

     "...a featureless, infinitely large void. And that
     will be that..."

     "By the time the final chapter of cosmic history 
     is written --further in the future than our minds 
     can grasp-- humanity, and perhaps even biology, 
     will long since have vanished."

     "...the universe, once ablaze with the light of 
     uncountable stars" will become "an unimaginably 
     vast, cold, dark and profoundly lonely place."

Yeah, all this wonderful stuff... in about "1 trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion years."

That's 1 followed by 72 zeros... I think.

Umm, no, I don't really have anything to say. Life sucks. Blah blah blah.
