What are your favourite ends of the world? (Mythological and otherwise).

Destroy: The Book Of Revelation

Search: The Last Battle!

erm, well i remember one theory from an episode of Red Dwarf that i liked:

The Universe started with the Big Bang, and everything started expanding. Once the Universe has expanded as far as it can go, there's the Big Crunch, and everything starts contracting.

deep. like me.

i always thought that Douglas Adams' Restaurant At The End Of The Universe was a pretty nifty idea - the Apocalypse reduced to an after- dinner spectacle, and then everyone gets back into their time machines and trundles off home...

I was wrong - how anticlimatic. Which is probably how the end of the world will be as well.

Nicole, Friday, 16 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

not with a bang but a whimper ect ect nicole!

There is a good one in Stephen Baxters stuff where everything basically runs out of energy and they have to climb out into a new universe which has very dirrent rules .I like heat death a lot too.

End of the worlds. Destroy Galactus - our world was et by a bloke with a silly hat - the most embarrassing thing ever.

Katie's and Tom's choices: grand. Nicole's: but I would never get any sleep.

Actually, The Last Battle freaked me out for quite a while. Read it around the time that my crazy fundie-C babysitter foisted some Jack Chick tracks on me (I was, what, nine?) and had deep fears about the End Times for a while after that. Thanks for the psychosis!

So um, yeah, destroy: The Beast. Weird how the cheaply awful supermarket/execution panel so utterly fucked with my head in 1980.
