The Sword of Damacles is hangin' over my heeeaad
And I've got a feelin' someone's gonna be cuttin' the threeeaad.
Rocky upon his birth.



So we were talking about the super-volcano lying dormant beneath Yellowstone and I decided to make a poll:

It's got to end sooner or later, so what do you prefer?
Super-Volcano rips a hole in the globe like Kobe does a concierge:5 (9.4%)
Big Ol' Asteroid penetrates Earth like the cellmate does John Mark Carr:3 (5.7%)
Mega Pandemic decimates the population like AIDS was s'posed to :6 (11.3%)
Nukular Analation!:5 (9.4%)
Outdone by our own technology because Edward Furlong isn't there to save us:6 (11.3%)
Global Warming as Al Gore produces more and more gases:1 (1.9%)
Wombats:14 (26.4%)
Potpourri:13 (24.5%)
Total:53


I think I covered all the resonable scenarios, but feel free to add to the list.

I hope that one day, when the ninja robots and the smart apes battle it out for control of the planet, the winner is weakened by the battle enough that we can at least claim 1 continent for the humans that survive.

This is what would happen if a large asteroid were to hit the earth.


Yeah, we're @#%^ed.

I voted for the pandemic, because I don't believe we'll leave with a bang, but with a whimper.

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
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 say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

Well yeah... but that asteroid was the size of Western Europe. Now if we got hit with a smaller one... say the size of Lichtenstein... some of us would certainly survive.

I've got it on good authority that it will be in the form of a plague.

Edit: markups, yes, again.

I voted wombats. First, why wouldn't you want to go down in history as being the only planet to be overrun by wombats? Secondly, there would be a mighty chagrined Jeebus loving crowd.

But who will record this history? The wombats? Can we trust them do take an accurate description of the events?

History is written by the victors, but I doubt it would have a high degree of accuracy. I just don't trust wombats, they have beady eyes. They sure as hell ain't no gecko.

Yeah, we're @#%^ed.

That simulation fails for no less than two reasons.

1. The asteroid didn't hit Des Moines.
2. There were no depictions of the skeletons of kids on see-saws.

I take it you're from Des Moines.
