In honour of the soon-to-be-released movie version of Douglas Adams' trilogy in five parts, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, here are a number of methods that have been postulated if you really wanted to go ahead and blow up the Earth. They're really quite humourous and, I guess, sort of possible, if not exactly entirely plausible.
(This whole Earth blowing up thing happens in the first chapter of the book and the whole rest of the story rather hinges on this event happening, so don't get all huffy if you've never read it and might be thinking that I just ruined something important for you since, you know, the Earth blowing up is a rather significant event. In the grand scheme of things, it really isn't. Get over yourself.)
Damn, and I was hoping for some poetry.

I'm contemplating a series of posts in various forms of poetry. So watch out for that special feature Mr. Little.
