Zompocolypse, Lets go out in style, slaying as many zombies as we can. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I'm some what sadistic.
I really hope you're being sarcastic when you say that.Wierdguy said:
Given how much this is being advertised in the US, I think that if the religious people pushing this are proven wrong, they should be fined for false advertising. I'd say ten times what they paid for the ads in the first place should suffice.
I'll go with what T.S. Eliot said. I didn't want to post the full poem so I put it in a spoiler.
Mistah Kurtz-he dead.
A penny for the Old Guy

We are the hollow men
We are the stuffed men
Leaning together
Headpiece filled with straw. Alas!
Our dried voices, when
We whisper together
Are quiet and meaningless
As wind in dry grass
Or rats? feet over broken glass
In our dry cellar
Shape without form, shade without colour,
Paralysed force, gesture without motion;
Those who have crossed
With direct eyes, to death?s other Kingdom
Remember us?if at all?not as lost
Violent souls, but only
As the hollow men
The stuffed men.

Eyes I dare not meet in dreams
In death?s dream kingdom
These do not appear:
There, the eyes are
Sunlight on a broken column
There, is a tree swinging
And voices are
In the wind?s singing
More distant and more solemn
Than a fading star.
Let me be no nearer
In death?s dream kingdom
Let me also wear
Such deliberate disguises
Rat?s coat, crowskin, crossed staves
In a field
Behaving as the wind behaves
No nearer?
Not that final meeting
In the twilight kingdom

This is the dead land
This is cactus land
Here the stone images
Are raised, here they receive
The supplication of a dead man?s hand
Under the twinkle of a fading star.
Is it like this
In death?s other kingdom
Waking alone
At the hour when we are
Trembling with tenderness
Lips that would kiss
Form prayers to broken stone.
IV
The eyes are not here
There are no eyes here
In this valley of dying stars
In this hollow valley
This broken jaw of our lost kingdoms
In this last of meeting places
We grope together
And avoid speech
Gathered on this beach of the tumid river
Sightless, unless
The eyes reappear
As the perpetual star
Multifoliate rose
Of death?s twilight kingdom
The hope only
Of empty men.

Here we go round the prickly pear
Prickly pear prickly pear
Here we go round the prickly pear
At five o?clock in the morning.
Between the idea
And the reality
Between the motion
And the act
Falls the Shadow
For Thine is the Kingdom
Between the conception
And the creation
Between the emotion
And the response
Falls the Shadow
Life is very long
Between the desire
And the spasm
Between the potency
And the existence
Between the essence
And the descent
Falls the Shadow
For Thine is the Kingdom
For Thine is
Life is
For Thine is the
This is the way the world ends

I'd imagine nukes. Lots of them. That or the sun goes super nova. I dunno it's not an exact science
With a whimper.
Seriously; I reckon mankind will ultimately be its undoing, to both the human race dying out and the earth itself dying. Not to point out the obvious, or anything...

I'd like to make a Chuck Norris joke but I can't be arsed, so... ummm... I think Jesus will come out of hiding after his 40 billion year slumber and he'll phone up Cthulhu and ask him to join a party at the big G's house and then the three of them will throw around some ideas for a death metal band with Jesus on bass, God on lead guitar and Cthulhu singing, everyone will attend their opening concert and go insane, from then on out it's pretty much dead space 2 but with no necromorphs and 10X the insane people.
I had a few apocolyptic dreams like some months ago. There was one where i had a friend who died saving the world from earthquakes or something and i cried only because her dog was crying because she lost her owner 
.
Then there was a sort of massive dust storm one where only a restaurant entrance with a secret underground ancient, beautiful city (were we the survivors took refugee.) The landscape looked like a spaced out canyon, although later on i got elected as their leader...what the f***???
The other dream was when a massive flood/tsunami happened and everyone was walking on this HUUUGE inflatable brigde to safety LOL!
OH yeah! There was also a zombie dream where my sister got attacked by them. and died.
And all these dreams were set a little after when i finish my HSC, which will be close to the end of this year.
But personally i've always thought it'll be a meteor crashing with a white light then one green flash appears.....!!!!!
i've watched to many movies and news lately.

I'd have to say, that my personal favorite would be the time that you all developed a nanobot grey goo thing, that didn't eat the world, but instead escaped and ate Venus, Mercury, and then the sun. You guys spent the whole time studying the inside of the planets and star being eaten and totally ignored the fact that you were all gonna die.
When Square Enix finally releases Final Fantasy XIII Versus.....seriously its been fucking forever with so many delays! Its like there afraid the world might end LOL
