Some say the world will end in fire/ Some say in ice

[Bossy Monkey]

How's this thing going to end?

Just by the by, the rest of the poem (by Robert Frost) goes like this:
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire
but if it had to perish twice
I think I know enough of hate
to know that for destruction ice
is also great
and would suffice.

Something else that's been stuck in my head for 30 years...

1. I was gonna say Ice because

my idea of hell is somewhere cold, but seriously, whatever the reason, we all know it's gonna be Dubya's fault so I had to go with that.

2. It will end in spam...

Spam, spam, spam, lovely spam....

4. Solar Expansion

The sun's dying, and as it dies, it's going to expand and eat us.

[SmileyBoy]

15. Not for another 5 billion years.

Even at that time, we'll be a long-forgotten memory...

5. nuclear holocaust

that will be the end of human kind anyway. The earth will eventually (hundreds of millions of years after) recover.

18. B- Movie- Type Nuclear War, Baby!

Then the survivors will have to drive around in cool vans with Jan Micheal Vincent spouting one-liners while avoiding radiation created killer armor-plated cockroaches.

Or maybe just an alien attack of some sort.

Either way, it will be Bush's fault.

6. "with a whimper"

[Bossy Monkey]

8. I meant to put that on, and of course I could put it in place of

Some Other Mimi Rogers Movie, but even though the latter isn't going to get any votes I love it as a one-liner, and anyway it might be bad juju to crosswire two apocalyptic poems.

7. Cylon attack.

It was just on TV.

[Robeson]

10. One word: Romulans!

[TrogL]

11. This is the way the world ends

This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang, but a whimper - T. S. Elliot

12. Ice represents apathy

looks like it's going that way...
...also a universe that continues expanding and eventually cannot support life...ice

13. What? Nobody's going to mention the Mayan calendar?

Y'all are slipping!:P

[ReadTomPaine]

16. I thought that was just a misunderstanding - the calendar rolls over..

like an odometer rolling back to zero on a car.
