Plinxmas Vidvent Calendar - Day 9!

We're approaching the end of the year 2011, that means 2012 is just around the corner and it could potentially be an interesting year.
As you'll probably know, 2012 is supposed to bring about the end of the world as predicted by the Mayan calendar. Many have posited theories about what might cause our mass extinction; One of the more enduring is death by technology. Simply put, we will develop machines complex enough to overthrow us and wipe us from the planet.

Sounds ridiculous, yeah? Well see if you still think so when you've seen these flying robots build a futuristic bendy shed:



Now imagine them building a foot thick wall around us all while we sleep. ooooOOOOOooooOOOOoOOoOOoOoo!

Merry Christmas, meatbags.

The End Is Nigh.

It seems that the world is going to end tomorrow. Huh. Reckon I'd get away with not turning up for work?
If you don't know what I'm talking about, shame on you. It's been in the news a lot. See? (incidentally, here is another take on the story: "Millions of tiny black holes will be produced. It is quite plausible that these little black holes will survive and will grow and eat the planet from the inside out." - The Sun. Oh, and as for the *spit* Daily Mail, they seem to have Missed The Point.)

But anyway, this got me thinking. "I wonder how many ways our world could conceivably end. If only someone would do a top ten."

Well, Imagine My Surprise.
