Clarke. After the monks print out all nine billion names of God, the whole universe is just wrapped up, shut down and put back on the shelf. No muss or fanfare. Besides, everyone knows the actual end will be on Tuesday, May 1, 4199 at about 10:17 GMT. Remember that you read it here first.

Re the Obama story: Just what part of "he's a politician" did anyone fail to understand? Gee Rick, thanks for brightening my day!

Re the Obama story:

Just what part of “he’s a politician” did anyone fail to understand?

It's like the History Channel's doomsday show in Cliff's Notes form. And this one without any direct human intervention or causality. (It is far more likely that one of these outside events cause our demise, rather than our own puny efforts. We're not as powerful as we think we are.) Thanks for throwing us God-botherers a bone with number 10! Love it,Rick! It’s like the History Channel’s doomsday show in Cliff’s Notes form.

The whole "I'm a Mac," "I'm a PC," thing could be the basis for a genocidal civil war. Windows' blue screen of death would be a rather more literal phenomenon. I like #3.

There are so many good ones that really are plausible. Like the asteroid hitting the earth, which we know has already happened. Or the terrorist building a killer virus scenario. Or any of the economic collapse scenarios. I realize that these would not destroy all life or even all humanity, but hey, wiping out civilization is a pretty good disaster, too. You really blew it with the Obama/Canada story. That has already been debunked by both the Canadians and the Obama campaign. Just one of those examples of how "I heard it on the Internet" doesn't prove much. I like the scenarios but why did you confine yourself to fantasy scenarios?
