How do you want to go out?

Kodos · 11-17-2009, 11:16 AM

The bad news: The world is going to end within five years. Nobody will survive. The good news: You get to choose how we go out! What do you choose?

Here is Wikipedia's writeup about various end of the world scenarios: Risks to civilization, humans and planet Earth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

I chose zombie outbreak -- we might as well have fun killing zombies before we succumb. Otherwise, maybe something quick like an asteroid that nobody sees coming.

path12 · 11-17-2009, 11:23 AM

Yeah, I picked the asteroid. Quickly as possible, please.

Mizzou B-ball fan · 11-17-2009, 11:24 AM

No trout option. Thread = fail.

Kodos · 11-17-2009, 11:27 AM

I've decided to no longer include a trout option in my polls.

DataKing · 11-17-2009, 11:27 AM

Zombies. Definitely zombies.

Reckless posting. It's the new black.

Knowing that there is 0 chance of survival, then something like the asteroid hitting earth/get it over with fast.

If there were even a 1% chance of making it, then bring on the zombies or some other monster battle.

BYU 14 · 11-17-2009, 11:49 AM

I picked the option that will keep me alive forever.......Go Lions!!!!

Kodos · 11-17-2009, 11:52 AM

I was thinking in the Lions scenario, the world would actually blow up .1 second before the Lions clinched victory. Calvin Johnson would be going up for the winning reception and then *blam* the world explodes.

Hot or Not doesn't need a Trout option.

I went with the Lions' Super Bowl option.

vengeful jesus would at least give us enlightenment.

Airhog · 11-17-2009, 12:54 PM

Like that guy with the viagra and two chicks!

Dodgerchick · 11-17-2009, 02:01 PM

I'd like to go out fast. What better way then enjoy myself watching the super bowl then followed by the earth exploding. Hapiness, then poof... end.

JediKooter · 11-17-2009, 02:31 PM

Zombies for sure. However, it would be fun to try and take down a few T-Rex's.

Pumpy Tudors · 11-17-2009, 04:47 PM

Imagine that I said something kinda dirty here that would make all of you hate me.

Only quick if you are in the impact zone.

been watching a lot of V. I went with the alien option.

Honolulu_Blue · 11-17-2009, 05:26 PM

I'm really torn on this one. Lions winning the Super Bowl vs. zombies... Lions winning the Super Bowl vs. zombies... Lions winning the Super Bowl vs. zombies...

It's like Sophie's Choice, this thing.

molson · 11-17-2009, 05:39 PM

I think it'd be pretty interesting to be around for the end of days. So I went with asteroid/comet, and actually would hope that I would still be around for some of the resulting chaos once there's no more sunlight and so forth.

panerd · 11-17-2009, 08:00 PM

How about the worst? Locusts for sure (with famine a close second.) Famine would have to be the most suffering but how scared shitless would you be about the locust attack before it all ended.

MalcPow · 11-17-2009, 09:54 PM

I voted robots so Quik would survive.

DataKing · 11-17-2009, 09:58 PM

Bees would suck...I hate bees.

That's how it is for Missouri fans; if we ever win it all, it's the end of the world as we know it.

I went with the black hole for this reason -- like James T. Kirk, I don't believe in a no-win scenario. All of the other options pretty much lead to a know conclusion: aliens kill everyone, Jesus judges us, solar flare kills all, etc. With the black hole option, there's a chance of keeping the dream alive because we just don't know what happens inside a black hole.

I might have gone with rip in the space time continuum, but there's too much of a risk that the alternate universe would be worse than what we have now.

Kodos · 11-18-2009, 12:23 AM

Dunno. Chiefs might be good in an alternate universe.

Atocep · 11-18-2009, 01:09 AM

I'm disappointed in anyone that didn't pick zombies.
