Slow or fast zombies?
Zombie Virus Pandemic
Aliens obliterating the planet from space.
Aliens invading Earth and enslaving mankind.
Huge asteroid
Sun explodes (including the aftermath)
Mass detonation of the world's nuclear weapons supply.
Cataclysmic natural disasters preceeding the Earth imploding from the destablization of its core.
Throughout our lives, we've watched movies or read books about doomsday events like alien incursions, being overrun by the living dead, etc.
In this poll, specify which event(s) you think would suck the worst.
I chose 2, 4, and 7 because mankind has a chance to survive such events, however remote the chance of survival may be.
Ok, I'm wrong about #5. If the sun explodes, even if some did survive the blast wave, without the sun, the Earth would freeze to temperatures incapable of supporting human life, and the planet would fly off into space due to a lack of a gravity mass to keep it in orbit.

Slow or fast zombies?
King of Cheese, Pope of Lemons, Warlord of Pancakes, Sultan of Omelletes, Czar of Zuchini, Kaiser of Pretzels, Archduke of Apples, Duke of Pimento-loaf, Prime-Minister of Meats, Count of Tomato, The Regent of Danish, Chieftan of Chutney, and Lord of the Dance.
Definitely zombies. I don't look forward to being shot in the head just because I'm hungry, rotting and moaning.

Zombies because I don't like them
Nuclear war destruction because it is still a possibility.
Zombies are the only really "scary" one. Well, maybe enslavement, too.
The rest are just cataclysmic - and probably extinction level - events that you wouldn't even be alive to suffer through.
One of my favorite cataclysmic stories is Ill Wind, a book in which an oil company puts out a designer microbe to combat a huge oil spill in San Francisco Bay. The virus mutates, goes airborne, and eats all the petroleum and petroleum based products in the world. That means no gasoline, no plastics, no petroleum lubricants, no styrofoams, no polyester, no mass agriculture, no way of moving food from the countryside to the cities in reasonable quantities, no sources of electricity (try running a wind farm or hydro power dam without petroleum lubricants). The world descends into chaos and billions die.
Hard to believe that just 200 years ago, we didn't even have the stuff, and now it would completely destroy the modern world and kill billions if we didn't have it.
Kathy, I said, "I'm lost" though I knew she was sleeping
I'm empty and aching and I don't know why
Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike
They've all gone to look for America
A dragon coming out of the earth that is flying around and frying us from above.
Smart zombies... are the frikkin... scariest.... things ever. They wait for you.... open doors to find you... hide... team up... -shiver.-
