Kaput: adjective – slang: worn out, dead, finished, made useless or unable
to function, destroyed, broken.
'The armadillo you sold me
as a pet yesterday is kaput; it is dead, no longer extant, finished, no use,
defunct, incapable of any function, done for and generally no longer acceptable
as a companion. What are you going to do about it?' (With apologies to Monty
Python's Flying Circus 'Dead Parrot' Sketch.)
A question for you to
ponder: Should you get to heaven (in the doubtful event that such a place actually
exists), will you get stuck for eternity in the clothes you were buried
in?
1612 - Simon Marius was the
first to observe the Andromeda galaxy through a telescope, thus hammering
another nail in the coffin of those who believed in a flat Earth, an
Earth-centric universe and the concomitant lies put about by the various holy
authorities of the age.
