It's Friday!

And, for reasons I won't go into, that means it's only seven days until the weekend! (On my personal calendar, the last weekend was indeed 12 days ago). So what do I feel like doing?
I feel like destroying the earth.
Seriously, have a read - various outlandish but possible methods for doing so. Excerpt:

Pulverized by impact with blunt instrument
You will need: a big heavy rock, something with a bit of a swing to it... perhaps Mars.
Method: Criminal, really, that this blindingly obvious method was overlooked for so long. Essentially, anything can be destroyed if you hit it hard enough. ANYTHING. The concept is simple: find a really, really big asteroid or planet, accelerate it up to some dazzling speed, and smash it into Earth, preferably head-on but whatever you can manage. The result: an absolutely spectacular collision, resulting hopefully in Earth (and, most likely, our "cue ball" too) being pulverized out of existence - smashed into any number of large pieces which if the collision is hard enough should have enough energy to overcome their mutual gravity and drift away forever, never to coagulate back into a planet again.

And so on, through crunching, overspinning, strangelets, plasma, string, and even total existence failure. Good fun.
