Its almost December 21 folks, and we've all got front-row seats to the end of the world 
Anyway, on to business. First, I assure you I have no belief in that Mayan superstition. Second, the point of this threat is what you believe is the biggest threat to the survival of our species. Personally, I think disease is the single biggest threat to our collective survival as a species.

Well, if we're not gonna be realistic, then how about the Great Old Ones waking up and driving men to death with madness, sans those with the strength to transcend their mortal limitations and join the Great Old Ones among the stars...

Oh that's absurd. R'yleh has risen, death has died, and we are all simply dreams of great Cthulu.
Since the dream is our world, and indistinguishable from reality, however, I voted for famine- the zombie apocalypse will eventually run out of humans to eat.

End of the world? Sounds good to me.
Nuclear war seems to be the most likely cause for the world's end. Obama was all like "oh, I hope there's gonna be an age where nobody has nukes." But that's ignorant idealism. Crossbows didn't end, even though the church forbade them. I foresee an age where folks, in the grips of falling stocks, commit suicide with privately owned micro-nukes (taking an entire city with them) rather than tossing 'emselves outta window.

Well, that'd be the end of humanity, not the end of the world. The robots would go on just fine, looking for Haley Joel Osmond and getting confused for aliens.

“We may observe that the government in a civilized country is much more expensive than in a barbarous one; and when we say that one government is more expensive than another, it is the same as if we said that that one country is farther advanced in improvement than another. To say that the government is expensive and the people not oppressed is to say that the people are rich.”

Frazzled will adopt a cat, as the first sign. At which time, a single wiener dog will rise from the grave holding a pack of Twinkies.
This dog shall be given authority to kill 1/3 of mankind with his Twinkies of Doom.
This shall be the second sign.
When the dog has finished his task, he shall eat the Twinkies and be taken up to Heaven on a flaming Hostess delivery truck. And then a Chariot of Fire drawn by seven wiener dogs will descend bearing the ghost of William Wallace shouting "FREEDOM!!!"
And so the world will end in bolts of lightining from the arse of William Wallace.

Assuming we define "the end of the world" as "the death of humanity as the dominant species" I'd have to go with pandemic. Some sort of flu-type situation.

Most definately, we would still be the dominant species although society has we know it may well have collapsed. It won't even take a particullary nasty disease, it just has to be nasty enough to cripple our food supply chain, the UK for example has approximattely 2 weeks food supply at any one time.
As for the actual end of the world it will have nothing to do with us, we would have died out/evolved/transcended/whatever long before that.

Define world ending. The extinction of humanity? Good luck with that. We're better than cochroaches at surviving. Destruction of the planet's ability to sustain carbon based life? Easy-sun burning out or going nova.
