It’s the End of the World as We…Oh, Wait


As you have probably noticed, there are no meteors falling from the sky, no zombie hordes eating people’s brains, no Day After Tomorrow-style ice ages, and no other earth-destroying force wiping out all of humanity.

That’s right, people.  We’ve survived the Apocalypse.  Yippee.

But you know, I have been giving it a lot of thought, and it has come to my attention that there are many, many theories regarding the way in which the world will end, and for the most part, I find myself a bit underwhelmed. 

Don’t get me wrong; a zombie hoard gnawing on my flesh would be terrifying, if not a little gross.  However, everyone has thought of that scenario.  Everyone has thought of the meteors and the weather shifts that throw the environment out of balance.  I mean, what has Al Gore been talking about all this time, huh?  Obviously, he was trying to warn us about the Apocalypse.

Anyway, I wanted to think up some better or more creative ways for the world to end.  So here’s my personal list:

1.      Everyone gets infected by some love virus (go with it), we all get into a giant orgy and finally die from too much sex.

2.      By some sort of magic something/alternate timeline, we find out that all of our favorite fictional characters are actually real…and kill us all to gain control over our world.

3.      Evil Abed and Evil Troy make this the darkest timeline.

4.      What happened at the end of Cabin in the Woods (because that was pretty awesome).

5.      Giant lobsters.

6.      Aliens come and bake everyone into a huge, worldwide birthday cake (or Jell-O mold).

7.      Paper becomes sentient (it happens) and gives everyone huge paper cuts…and then they get infected and turn everyone into paper monsters.

8.      In order to take over the world, The Abominable Snowman recruits Frosty the Snowman and all the other snowmen…and cause a huge ice age okay, so I couldn’t help it—at least it wasn’t caused by global warming, though).

9.      A chemical spill causes all water sources to become completely sour, so when we go to drink water, our faces pucker and get stuck that way.

And finally…

10.  Giant lobster robots.

I know, I know.  Many of these scenarios (all) are ridiculous, make little sense, and are highly impossible.  But hey, so is thinking that the Mayans knew when the world was going to end.

Happy Surviving-the-Apocalypse Friday,

Shannon
