Today's APOD feed has the caption, "How will our universe end?" To which the obvious answer is, in a sepulchral tone, "In fire." (Though that's not exactly what they suggest.)

Well, although my life has involved a certain amount of emotional combustion recently, right now I could do with a bit more literal warmth. Our boiler packed up over the weekend (I know, we're not the only people this has happened to lately) and the flat is freezing and lacking hot water. Also, our upstairs neighbours have left an old bed in our garden; the cistern is still leaking and has wrecked the bathroom wall; there is mould and damp damage in pretty much every room... I am sick of this place. Roll on the new place (hopefully end of the month).

I would have thought "Not with a bang, with a whimper" would be a more obvious answer. Or a Gnab gib, if you're a Hitchiker's fan.

You know, I must have read or heard that passage from HHGTTG at least 10 times. Only now have I realised "gnab gib" is "big bang" backwards.

It made me think of the Babylon 5 episode where the dying Centauri emperor asks Kosh, "How will this end?" to which Kosh replies, "In fire!"
