Most Likely Form of Apocalypse
With recent "military incursions" in the Middle East and talks of "World War III OMFGHAX!!!", I think this can only be appropriate.
...Ahem.
Face it! We're among the walking dead already! We just haven't been buried yet! There are perhaps dozens of ways the entire world can end...but not all of them are plausible.
From ze list above, what do ye think is the most likely way that the world is going to eat it?

The sun will expand into a red giant, engulfing the earth. It will, this is not in doubt. The only doubt is if we manage to destroy it (the earth) first.
(in before the poll).

I'd say that falls under "time".
And...Congratulations for coming in before the poll...comrade...
By the time an apocalypse visits Earth, its loss will barely qualify for a mention in the local news let alone the end of humanity...it'll just be the quaint backwater that humanity originated from and nothing more. Actually, it will probably be a tourist destination by that time.

check out www.exitmundi.nl for a variety of apocalyptic scenarios. Most likely? The Sun "exploding" (expanding into a red giant) and engulfing the earth in the process.

The two major unpreventable incidents on that poll are supervolcanoes and asteriods, and an asteroid is statistically more likely, therefore that.

I'd say War/Nuclear Holocaust. I think if the world's going to end someday, somehow; it'll be because we blast each other into oblivion. So, let's break out the keg and party 'til it's all over. :D

They'll never be immune to our number-one weapon known as the massive phone book. After all, closer quarters mean bigger phone books right?
I'm thinking A Brave New World.
Or like Team America: World Police where Jim Kong plans to nuke the world and the few reamining have thier heads so far up thier own assholes they fight eachother and dieout thus making the planet suitable for his cockroach people. (I forget thier names..)
Or perhaps bisexual robots.
How can robots be bisexual you ask?
Liberals will build them. So they'll find a way..
