Simple things make Apocalypse more funny. Nuclear mayhem? Too expensive. A terrorist organization spreading a lethal virus, genetically engineered to kill millions? Too complex. An extinct, prehistoric and hippie civilization that foresees the end of the world in 2012? We have enough with all those "natural healthy products", thanks. A software bug may be Y2K-ish, but I promise this is gonna be a good remake!

On a serious note: most of the desktop computers will be x86-64 a lot before 2038. The problem are those old behemoths whose programmers are now dead (caffeine overdose, it happens) or retired.

Avian Flu. We all know HIV/AIDS was an experiment that went wrong.
PS: Do not never, ever lose track of your test subjects. PPS: Hey, that's my tinfoil hat! Come back!

Generally Air Transport people present the figures their ways. Like the ratio of death by distance done. However it's a fraud to intelligence to do so. Aircraft are not done to cover same distances than cars. When you take the ratio of death by hours of transport, then aircraft is just slightly better than car, and I guess this year it's not even the case. As someone who studied a bit Air Traffic bullshits, I really can't believe thoses bullshit talk about aircrafts being safe. Aircraft industry is fragile, and in time of crisis I won't believe it's safe.
