“Harry is heavily into camping, and every year in the late fall, he makes us all go to Assateague, which is an island on the Atlantic Ocean famous for its wild horses. I realize that the concept of wild horses probably stirs romantic notions in many of you, but this is because you have never met any wild horses in person. In person, they are like enormous hooved rats. They amble up to your camp site, and their attitude is: We're wild horses. We're going to eat your food, knock down your tent and poop on your shoes. We're protected by federal law, just like Richard Nixon.” YearsPersonsLawFallRealizingAttitudeMetsOceanLateHumorousConceptsHorseNotionShoesEnormousIslandsCampsProtectedSiteRatsTentsCampingPoopWild HorsesAtlantic Ocean Author:Dave Barry

“In the far, far future, essentially all matter will have returned to energy. But because of the enormous expansion of space, this energy will be spread so thinly that it will hardly ever convert back to even the lightest particles of matter. Instead, a faint mist of light will fall for eternity through an ever colder and quieter cosmos.” MatterLightFallEnergySpaceEternitySpreadEnormousCosmosExpansionParticlesMist Author:Brian Greene
