I would send cute little fluffy animals which when you get close enough would instantly desintigrate you.

You need a method that has delayed action. Something that, by the time people figure out that they'll be "eliminated," it's already too late.

I'm thinking something like a giant interconnected "web" of computers, with all kinds of interesting places to visit, people to talk with, and we'll all be sitting in front of our computers absorbing sterility rays.

Nah...too far fetched. People will never just veg out in front of computers.

Also, they would be found in cereal boxes.

Ahh but they could morph into something less cute or something alittle more intimidating and bulletproff.

Can't get kids past the security where I work. [Evil Laugh] Or cute furry animals.

"Wittle Wabbit, where are you?" BANG! "AWW! What have I done? I shot the poor wittle wabbit."

I like this topic. So would've Ben. My friend Ben wrote a decently lengthy dissertation on taking over the world using a yellow submarine.

I'd put stuff in the water to remove all agressiveness from the population. Within a short amount of time, people would die because they didn't care to live anymore. Apathetic deaths.

I'd bribe workers at pharmeceutical corporations into either putting sterility chemicals into their products, or a drug that would make everyone allergic to them.

If we're talking crazy...I'd buy a few surplus Russian and American rockets and haul them into space, then attach them to the moon and bring that sucker crashing down on us.

***SG-1 SPOILER***


I'd go with a virus that has no symptoms until, like, 4-7 days after you get it, then kills you really fast.

Oh, wait.

The Ori already did that. [Wink]

Yeah, the ori are part of the new direction they're taking starting season 9. Personally, I think that season 8 is pretty skippable. There are a couple great episodes (I especially thought that the season opener was one of the best ever), but overall there wasn't much to it.

At the moment, I'm kind of enjoying Atlantis more. Are you watching that too?

They were first mentioned in the season nine opener.

I found Season 8 to be very... entertaining. Parts of it were some of the funniest moments I've seen on TV, and some of the guest spots (okay, just Wayne Brady) were laughably awesome.

Okay, back to human destruction...

Would she be singing some kind of fancy death frequency, or breathing out some sort of poisonous gas?

I got it! we get cher to sing Mein Kampf.

We then have a fat lady singing at an unbearable frequency while spewing poison.

I would simply invoke the ancient Egyptian ritual that starts the cats. Cats are evil unholy warriors sent by Anubis to kill us all. All they are waiting for is the go signal.

*shudder* cats are sooo evil...

Intriguing question.

How would I destroy the human race? Ultimately, I would want the human race to destroy itself. It's a lot of work destroying entire civilizations; best to have other people do the work for you.

I would start by gaining political office. The only thing I would accomplish is legalizing Euthaniasia, and encouraging every country to do so as well. I would then broadcast a global message, which, in the middle of it would be interrupted with a picture of my nude body for 10 seconds, after which I would tell every I am sorry, I am already married. That takes care of the female and gay population. As for the remaining male members of the earth, and of course my wife, well, my wife and I will be fine, but the lack of sex from everyone else will drive them to suicide, or just give it time and they'll die of old age anyway.

Patton Oswald had a good bit about the apocalypse. It went something like this:

"There'd be flesh-eating zombie-ninjas running around slicing people up, and the oceans would boil, and huge volcanos would rise from the earth and erupt menstrual blood which would from into the face of Avril Lavigne and she'd start singing, and the words would turn into razor blades that would just cut through any remaining living flesh!"

Leave it to Patton to make boiling oceans seem mundane.

How about we just evolve into super sapiens with, like, telekinetic mind powers and all. And all those old-style homo sapiens who don't believe in evolution will quietly fade away like the Neanderthals before them.
