Alternatively, if we wait long enough we always have the heat death of the universe to look forward to.

I read in this book that there's a restaurant just before that happens where you can bounce back and forth between the death of the universe and the hours before it. So that sounds cool.

Shh!" said Ford. "It's conical. So what you do is, you see, you fill it with fine white sand, alright? Or sugar. Fine white sand, and/or sugar. Anything. Doesn't matter. Sugar's fine. And when it's full, you pull the plug out... are you listening?" "I'm listening." "You pull the plug out, and it all just twirls away, twirls away you see, out of the plughole. "Clever."

It’s another spin on the aforementioned restaurant. It’s from a hitchhikers guide to the galaxy. In said restaurant (Milliways) the cows have been bred to wanting to be eaten and expressing said wish directly to the customers.

That's not bright at all. That's the darkest thing.
