To keep the negativity alive, which would you like the world to end with? fire or ice?

I, like the poet who first asked this, go with fire.

A nice fruity blend, with Bananas of course.

Ice - we can fight against that longer than we could fire.

Ice, because it's more likely to be a natural end.

fire. ice just wouldn't fit in with our image of armageddon very much. it wouldn't play out as well on a tv movie.

Speaking as a poet, ice, as it would preserve our buildings for aliens to come, visit, and preform archaelogical studies on.

Ice. Seems less painful.

Plus, hey, it's not like you can't dress up in furs or turn up the heat or whatever, but no amount of air conditioning is going to help you out during a planet-wide firestorm.

You also might be able to convince the chicas that huddling for warmth is their only hope of survival.

This icy Armageddon is sounding better and better.

Haven't you gone skiing or something? Ice and cold can be a frikking vicious piece of ****... I've had my piece of frozen pain already . Okay fire would also cause extreme pain, so I think it's kind of a tie .. Frozen white fingers feel like hellacious torture anyway

Frozen body parts don't hurt until you warm them back up. We shouldn't have to worry about that happening if the world is freezing over.

I think some people are missing the point:

end of the world mean end of the world: there is no time for snuggling or anything else. So, do you want the horrid pain that comes from fire, or the horrid, but different, pain that comes with ice?

Or the horrible pain that comes from being enveloped by a fruity blend, with bananas of course.

Again, unless you're going to get frozen and then thawed out again, ice Armageddon wouldn't hurt very much.

Good foresight with the poll - The fire option has a red bar, the ice a blue bar, and Banana a yellow bar.

Ah, but as Trajanus pointed out, being frozen hurts like hell, until you are dead, and then it doesn't matter.

Think of it this way: which makes you more uncomfortable? 90 degrees and humid, or -30 and windy? Which feeling would you like to have magnified many times over? Hence, Fire, or Ice.

Yes, of course it was pre-planned......

Ever heard of freezer burn? Frozen skin and burnt skin feel rather similar.

Yes, frozen skin does hurt when you thaw back out. You don't feel anything until the skin warms back up, however; freezing temperatures pretty effectively numb your nerve endings. So, unless you're going to freeze us all, thaw us out so we suffer, and then freeze us again, a cold end-of-the-world would be far superior to being consumed in blinding, fiery pain.

How about a frozen fruity blend with bananas? Sort of like a banana margarita armageddon.

...but in the end I'd have to say ice... with the hopes of being thawed out and brought back to life at a later date.

Good point. Robot zombie ninjas might bring us back to life in the future, like in that dismal AI movie.

Ice Armageddon might end like A.I.? ****, that definitely goes in the "con" column.

It wouldn't be so bad, you'd only be around for one day to suffer through it.
