Kaput: adjective – slang: worn out, dead, finished, made useless or unableto function, destroyed, broken.
'The armadillo you sold meas 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 acceptableas a companion. What are you going to do about it?' (With apologies to MontyPython's Flying Circus 'Dead Parrot' Sketch.)
A question for you toponder: Should you get to heaven (in the doubtful event that such a place actuallyexists), will you get stuck for eternity in the clothes you were buriedin? 
1488 - Bartholomeus Diaz arrivedback in Portugal having sailed around the Cape of Good Hope.1612 - Simon Marius was thefirst to observe the Andromeda galaxy through a telescope, thus hammeringanother nail in the coffin of those who believed in a flat Earth, anEarth-centric universe and the concomitant lies put about by the various holyauthorities of the age.
