How to Destroy the Earth

For all the aspiring super-villains out there, beware: destroying the world is, apparently, rather difficult. Unless you can find a lot of anti-matter or a conveniently located black hole, you are going to have some trouble.

But if you are really dedicated, this page offers eleven exciting methods of destruction and carefully analyzes each.
