"Well this place is old
It feels just like a beat up truck
I turn the engine, but the engine doesn't turn
Well it smells of cheap wine & cigarettes
This place is always such a mess
Sometimes I think I'd like to watch it burn"
Damnit. Since you mentioned larger than the solar system,
hypernovas are out of this thread. I always hoped my death would be reclined in a lawn chair, wearing a Hawaiian shirt, drinking a screwdriver, watching the sky burn.

And everyone is invited to my End of the World Party. I wish it could be on 21st of December, 2012, but with Christmas so close, you'll want to spend Christmas with your families, either because you do not know/believe of your impending doom, or you want to spend those last few days with your family.
Either way, my friend and I hope to make it a rather bang on party.
@ will:
Why is "the computers have taken over" not on that list? I support this
project here (anticipating it's initial start up), And we all know
Google is bound to do it.
