God wakes up and realises what the hell he's done.(i.e, the world)
There really is a planet X. The only problem is, it's heading straight for.....................SMASH CRACK SPLINTER MEOW

according to this fun little top ten list, the Earth being consumed by Von Neumann machines comes in at number 2.

Isn't it obvious? Some crazy coot with some pet lemmings breeds them in flatlands where there are no cliffs, and before you know it, lemmings have taken the route of rats and multiplied right beneath our noses, using ships to cross oceans, etc. Then the only places inhabitable by humans would be places with cliffs, for all flatlands would be seething and teeming with lemming masses. And when those die, the rotting flesh would cover the entire ground surface, breeding bacteria and death of such proportion that any humans left would surely die. So it's not the END of the world, but it's the end of the world as we know it(and I feel fine).

A microscopic black hole sucks us all into angel-hair pasta strands one atom thick - and then lets out a deep belch, but no-one's left to hear it.

Speaking of Canada, they will start WWIII and we will all die when a giant hockey puck, built by the Canadian army as a sort of Death Star, crashes into the earth.

No, I was leaning more for the REM version, since if you notice, I am in Athens, GA.

Actually, the world will end when the sun goes Nova. Unless sometime between now and the five billion years we have left we figure out how to move the Earth to a newer younger star.

I think that the capitalist superpowers of future Earth will overuse the Earth's crust and mantle, and the Earth will dry up and become an uninhabitable rock, which will then be found to be in the way of some experiment and will have its gravitational fields messed up by one mother of a tractor beam which will direct it into the Sun to be toasted...

An asteroid 8 kilometers in diameter strikes Earth, most possibly the Southern Hemishpere, due to lack of EWS and observatories. It will strike the land and create an explosion 8,000 x the size of the combined detonation of today's world nuclear arsenel. Instantly incinerating everything within a several thousand mile radius. Huge dust and smoke clouds block out the sun, causing all remaining plant life to die within the next few weeks. Humanity, out of food, resorts to canibalism, thus ending the great species that was once the Homo sapiens

This is a dramatic break from my customary views, but here goes...
The U.S. Constitution is changed and George W. Bush gets a third term.

From that point, we can all use our imaginations -
Nuclear holocaust

and probably many more if I wanted to take time to think about it

N. Korea lauches attack into S. Korea.
We (US) gets involved.
The Chinese gets involved.
The Russians gets involved.
The EU gets involved.
After 5-10 years of fighting, the Chinese get pissed off and launch. We do, and then the Russian.

When WWIII happens you can say I told you so.

Relax people. The world isn't going to end for another three years. So do what you want now and in three years you will have no regrets. Don't ask me how I know it's three years. If i told you that i'd have to kill you.

Security guard of Chechen descent working at Vector, the old Soviet bioweapons research plant, steals several vials of a very hot strain of Smallpox genetically modified so that vaccine doesn't work well against it.
The vials are used on Russian soldiers rotating back home from Chechnia, one or two are passed on to Al Quaeda for use against Americans.
Outbreaks of Smallpox begin in Russia, USA, Iraq, Afghanistan, Chechnia, and Europe. Without effective vaccine, or really enough of any vaccine, the disease spreads out of control. 60% of vaccinated people survive. 100% of unvaccinated people die.
The world's population is reduced to just a few hundred thousand over the course of a couple of months. Public services have long since failed, disease is spread by contaminated water, the remaining few humans may survive and rebuild the species, but maybe not.

The Apoclypse will be brought about when a group of scientists decide to invent a device that will save the world from global warming by tilting the earth.
Sadly, they will completely mess it up and make the Earth point in the oppisite direction, causing more Global Warming then ever.
Humans will not adept to the dramatic changes and will die.

In the book "when worlds collide", a rogue gas giant the size of uranus with a moon slightly larger than earth enters the solar system, swings by the sun, and gobbles up the earth and luna while leaving behind its own moon.
Sounds like fun. :p

Exit Mundi is rad...if slightly disconcerting
Favourite End of World Scenario: Biblical Apocalypse (y'know with the four horsemen of the apocalypse and all...c'mon it's got style! if the worlds ending mite as well go with a bang)
Most Likely End of world Scenario: Probably an asteroid or something... still a bang but there probably won't be enough time to stand and admire the view. Either that or some horrible plague, which would also be the scariest end of the world...the tension!

Scientists play around with altering the basic underlying physics of spacetime.
Say, playing with the strong nuclear forces, and everything on Earth disintegrates in a quick puff of quarks.
Say, playing with the strong nuclear forces, and everything on Earth disintegrates in a quick puff of quarks. That'd probably be my preferred method of world destruction, it would happen so fast, I wouldn't care, because I very very quickly would not exist.
Way more fun than say, the Islamic apocalypse or that supervolcano one.

My preferred method would be being invaded by an alien race of vegetables that eat vegetarians, and of course this is in the future when everyone eats vegetables and animals can talk.
It'll probably die when nuclear wars spring up becuase of oil in low supply .. Woo nuclear wintar! :)

You would love to be the scientist who threw the switch on that experiment, wouldn't you? Knowing what your moronic co-workers don't realize - that you're not only going to die, you're going to take everyone else with you.
