If a catastrophic event of worlwide consequences were to occur, which event would you least prefer not to experience (does that sentence make sense?)

Some ideas:

-Astronomical events
-Biological epidemics
-Religious events (Judgement Day or some other Biblical event)
-Supernatural events
-Zombie outbreak or other similar outbreak

Are you asking us to pick the best of the worst? Or the worst of the worst? Also, where's the poll?

Which event would you rather experience. That's what I'm asking.

No poll because there are too many options.

Death Star coming out of hyperspace just outside the moon's orbit...then using it's "powerful new weapon" on the Earth.
The resulting "great disturbance in the force" would be unsettling.

Anything that involves a ton of suffering. Honestly, zombie outbreak might not be so bad. I think I'm ready for it. Asteroid? Blah, quick death. The waiting part sucks. Judgement day might be ok. But if we subscribe to the Bible doesn't God say the next time he comes he burns the Earth? That would suck.

I'd rather experience the conquest of the world by a race of Aliens who all look like Jessica Alba, don't have any concept of clothing and kill you by sexing you to death

Earth being blown away for a hyperspace bypass that had been canceled.

Obviously, the worst would be having a race of super advanced mutated donkeys kicking my balls off.

-Astronomical events - you can't do anything about a gamma ray burst or giant asteroid ( bruce willis is too old for this shit )
-Biological epidemics - nasty, can spread easily <- worst of the lot
-Religious events - stupid - would never happen
-Supernatural events - again - would never happen
-Zombie outbreak or other similar outbreak - fun, get to shoot people

:awe::awe::awe:

Astronomical event could be okay - if it's the killer asteroid, you might get to see some pretty fireworks before being evaporated in a fireball. But being buried alive under 20 feet of dust and ash would suck.

Biological would suck, even fast diseases take a day or more to kill you.

Zombie apocalypse? I need to get some buckshot, but after that I could take down a lot of them. Assuming it's the slow zombies of course.

So supernatural and religious events would never happen, but a zombie outbreak is possible?

Let me ask YOU a question. What "other similar outbreak" is similar to a zombie outbreak?

My preliminary response is that I would prefer not to experience any of the above, really.

sure why not. there's gotta be a mad scientist trying to create an uncontrollable army of zombies. there's that spore that zombifies grasshoppers so its more probable than a supernatural or religious event.

An outbreak of some kind of virus which turns the infected into flesh-eating monsters, who will stop at nothing to find and devour all uninfected individuals.
