Lately, I've seen many theorys of how and when the world will end. I've seen several T.V. shows on it (how reliable right? :D). Every one says we have the highest chance of dying a different way.

I've heard...
Meteor
Disease
Overpopulation
Aliens (it was from T.V. I KNOW this one is true lol)
Nuclear bombings
Ozone layer leaving
Gama Ray Burst
Flying out of orbit
EDIT: Super-volcanoes (Yellowstone erupting)
So...what do you think WILL happen?

Funny you should say this. There was something in the paper about the end of the world as predicted by the mayan's or something like that in 2012.
Anyone?

It's just the ending of their calendar. Apparently, it's either gonna be the end of the world, or the irrelevance of time.

To add to that
The mayan calenders (they have 2) end on December 21 (i think) 2012. Most people think that this is the end of the world date. Since it's just the end of the calender, it doesn't explain how, but one think is for certain, all of the Mayan predictions for the future have come true. How is the question, many religions explain the end in a different way. Some are natural disasters, for some is an antichrist, science says many things could happen. It's just a very open topic

AIDS and cancer isn't the worst thing that can happen.

It's just a wait and see situation for now.

I forgot about super-volcanoes...that one sounds fun.

Apparently Yellowstone is overdue for an eruption...and when it does. Basically it will erupt, making the atmosphere so covered in soot, that there will be no sunlight, and we will SLOWLY SUFFER!!!! (doesn't that just sound like a fun way to die?)

All the obese people in the world are going to disrupt the Earth's spin and we will either be flung into the outer reaches of space to die in the cold void, or we will be flung into the intense furnace that is the sun. Thanks fatties.

Something will kill a large amount, but not the entirety, of the human population, and this will bring on a new evolution of the species, with wings and telescopic eyes.

Wings? I can already get that from red bull. The new species won't be that much better. They're just trying to be show offs

Wow. Nostradamus made predictions that came true as well...
The more bland your "predictions" are the easier you can apply them to certain things.

Everywhere except for Australia, you mean. The really cheesy or really great apocalyptic movies always have Australia as this last hub of human civilization. Sure, Australia will be covered soon as well, but for some reason they are always last.
Wouldn't that be ironic if a meteor struck Australia first? Ha.

The idea for indecisive people: (Combining my first post):
In 2012 the earth will overpopulate, causing the earth to fly out of orbit. While flying in...some random direction...aliens redirect an asteroid that slams into us, with radioactive stuff on it. Causing disease to spread throughout the world. Afterward, a Gama ray burst hits us causing all of our nukes to blow up.
THATS how the world's going to end. (if we don't freeze to death instantly after flying out of orbit in the first place).
