If the moon crashed into the earth, all live on the planet would be eventually, if not imediately, extinguished. The impact crater would be enormous causing huge shifts in the ecology and tossing up a dust cloud that would obliterate the suns effect on the planet for years. Everything would die.

The green cheese industry would go bankrupt.

If you were in it's path and you looked up you would be smashed. What kind of question is this anyway?

Serious answers aside, my horoscope would be buggered up.

It doesn't matter what would happen if it eventually did collide with earth, because as the moon eventually moved closer, the tides would change greatly. There would be so many gigantic tidal waves.

99.9% of life would die(not sure wat the .1% wouldnt is but w/e the moon is moving away from earth just like when you spin a bucket of water in a circular motion going upside down teh water does not spin and if th bucket had no bottom the water would fly outa the bucket

This would be an earth breaking catastrophe...

We'd be fucked up the ass.

As pointed out by Old School in a comment, as the Moon-Earth distance gets smaller, the Roche limit will be reached, and the Moon will break apart. Before that happens, the much greater tides would have probably made a normal land life on Earth already impossible. Relatively smaller parts could then fall onto the Earth and destroy most of its surface. As far as they both stay rigid, the Roche limit for the system Earth-Moon occurs for 9,496 km (1.49 Earth radius). Source and further information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roche_limit
