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.

Good luck with that.

Thats interesting but its still funnier to run away from something no higher then your ankle.


Also, they would be found in cereal boxes.

Woot! Yeah for those of us that don't eat breakfast.

You still would'nt be safe because kids would bring them to school and show them off and at work someone would bring one there too.

Until the invasion hit the middle states, where we like to shoot cute fluffy animals from a distance
 
Posted by Einstien (Member # 9128) on :
 
Ahh but they could morph into something less cute or something alittle more intimidating and bulletproff.

Oooo.... Antimatter Bunny Rabbits.

You get right on that. Let me know when you're done.

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.

[Wink]

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.

If I had that much antimatter, I'm sure I could think of better things to do with it.

I didn't say they look like rabbits they could look like anything they can morph so they could look like a briefcase or a coat or anything else.

I'd put a bug in either the Indian or the Pakistani early warning detection systems.

BOOM!

Very very carefully.

And secretly.

Shh... it's coming.

***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]
 
Posted by Carrie (Member # 394) on :
 
Obviously not, kq, because a) the "pandemic" never spread to Wisconsin and b) Gerak saved us all. [Roll Eyes]
 
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
 
The Ori?

Crap, is that past Season 8? I haven't seen past Season 8 yet!
 
Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
 
I said it was a spoiler. [Roll Eyes]


Oh, did I not mention that I would destroy the SGC first?
 
Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
 
(Oh, and Season 9 kinda sucks a bit.)

(Although I think they came in in Season 8.)

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?

Edit:

They were first mentioned in the season nine opener.

But after you let me steal the gate, right? Because the gate is crucial to my plans for world destruction...

I'd eat all of the cereal.

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...

Gotta love good opera.

Now, where is my Uranium PU-36 Explosive Space Modulator

I would use the undead too take over the world and I alone could command them, none of that turn aganist your master thing.
 
Posted by smitty (Member # 8855) on :
 
Yes, yes, that should work. You should busy yourself along those lines.

I'd just have The Fat Lady sing. [Wink]
 
Posted by dantesparadigm (Member # 8756) on :
 
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.
 
Posted by KarlEd (Member # 571) on :
 
Nah, she just has to sing. Everyone knows it's over when The Fat Lady sings.

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...

SwampJedi, I think I saw that in a recent movie. I won't mention which one for fear that I may ruin it for someone.

Maybe an evil plot to take over foriegn oil fields would be how I would start the destruction of the world. [Evil Laugh]

Oh.... never mind its already started.


Hey lets have an Armegedon party to celebrate the immenent end of the world! [Party] [Party]

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.

[/egocentricity]

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.

Let the human race fight for "universal peace"? Forget that! [Blushing]
Just take the scientific approach. Be sure to read the TOP 10.
