The number of years it would take for all the atoms to "die" in this universe would amount to higher than the total amount of atoms in the universe.

When you die, your cat will likely eat you, but not right away. this is because he/she still expects you to fill up his bowl. after a bit, when you do not fill up their bowl, they will likely nom on soft, exposed areas of your body (think neck, lips, nose). If you want more somewhat morbid facts like this, read "will my cat eat my eyeballs?" by caitlin something-or-other. it's a great read.

Not a funny, but a random fact nonetheless: two Hairless Chinese Crested dogs should not be bred together because the hairless gene variant is lethal when a dog has two copies of the mutation. Therefore the mating should be between a Hairless and the Powderpuff variety of the breed.
(There's also the true hairless and the Hairy hairless, just to confuse you - and IMHO no kinder, more loyal, funnier breed of dog ever existed. Not that I'm biased ... )
