My least favorite event is any building event - I am generally hopeless at building (and my parents are cheap.). I did building events 2011 and 2012, and did nothing until competition for either one.
100% of deaths are somehow caused by science.
Don't be a statistic.
Don't do science.

Entomology.
Bugs creep me out.
At Science class, a bug that was around 1 cm was crawling on my table. I killed it immediately because it scared me.
Now I feel guilty for killing the bug.

Homicide is a crime.
But bugs are awesome xP

Well, its not technically homicide because that would require killing a human... But bugs are awesome nonetheless.
Road Scholar seems to depress everyone on my team who does it, but it's my favorite event...

If you want to get really technical it is bugacide. And I agree with silentsage, bugs are cool.

So yeah...I will refuse to do SImple Machines this year. I don't want to be stuck with that event.

If you want to be consistent and use Latin roots ('cidium' means 'killing') then the technical term is 'insecticide', which unfortunately already has a meaning.
Least favourite? Basically any build or ID event.
