2. something astronomy related - read Bill Bryson's book...he sees us as doomed

A Short History of Nearly Everything - he sees our demise via a variety of different means - earthquake, asteroid, you name it!(all told in his wonderful dry sense of ironic, sarcastic humor!)

5. It's the prospect of the Earth getting hit by a Gamma Ray Burster that cooks my noodles

Fry everything to a crisp

7. I suppose the Sun holds some surprises for the solar system as well!

Once it does decide to burp in a major way, who knows how many planets it could take out!

10. I love Bill Bryson. Didn't know he was now

Using his fabulous wit to tackle the entire Universe.

Guess there are only so many million jokes you can make about Great Britain.

11. You need to read his "History" book - covers lots of bases, great stuff - funny and informative!

15. I still remember his tale of growing up poor

Or was it his dad growing up poor?

"They were so poor that they had to eat unbaked roof shingles for snacks..." et cetera.

I don't tell it aws well as he does.

6. ok, im voting zombie holocaust because perhaps with all the new robotic technology

that's being developed against, well, everyone - eventually that technology will get into the hands of, well, everyone, and everyone will be killing everyone else with their industrial or homemade robotic vomit seizure sound machines.

Have a nice weekend!:P :crazy:

8. I see global warming climate change as being intricately tied to the loss of fresh water,

global pandemics and economic collapse.

28. the end of civilization ---- it is all revealed to us in the Holy Book of Stipe.......

That's great, it starts with an earthquake, birds and snakes, an aeroplane,
Lenny Bruce is not afraid
Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn - world
Serves its own needs, dont misserve your own needs. Feed
It off an aux speak, grunt, no, strength,turn, ladder
Start to clatter with fear fight down height. Wire
In a fire, representing seven games, in a government
For hire and a combat site. Left of west and coming in
A hurry with the furies breathing down your neck. Team
By team reporters baffled, trumped, tethered cropped
Look at that low playing! Fine, then. Uh oh,
Overflow, population, common food, but it'll do. Save
Yourself, serve yourself. World serves its own needs,
Listen to your heart bleed dummy with the rapture and
The revered and the right, right. You vitriolic,
Patriotic, slam, fight, bright light, feeling pretty
Psyched

It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine

It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine) - R.E.M.
