So what would you do?
« on: October 11, 2007, 01:34:01 PM »
Having read this article I'm now intruiged as to what members on here would do.

Quote
LONDON (Reuters) -- An asteroid is on a collision course with the earth and you have one hour left to live. What would you do in your last 60 minutes?

Not surprisingly, the majority of people questioned in a survey -- 54 percent -- said they would like to spend it either with or on the phone to their loved ones.

But the survey revealed a strong hedonistic streak -- 13 percent would sit back, accept the inevitable and reach for a glass of champagne.

Sex appealed to only nine percent while just three percent would turn to prayer.

Two percent intriguingly said they would reach for some fatty food while another two percent decided, with just an hour's life to go, that it was time to start looting.

The survey was commissioned by Ziji Publishing to mark the release of "Cloud Cuckoo Land" by debut novelist Steven Sivell who "uses the classic premise of an impending meteorite collision as a metaphor for threats to the human race."

Havnt quite decided what I would do yet  rubschin:
The universe is run by the complex interweaving of three elements. Energy, matter, and enlightened self-interest.

I'd spend 59 minutes fvcking the nearest woman then place my head between my legs and kiss my arse goodbye.
I used to have a handle on life but it broke.

After the first ten minutes I doubt that I'd care.

I would park on a Red Route and smoke cigarettes whilst downing a bottle of Black Bush.

Knowing how Nick's luck runs he would be standing beside either Miss Whiplash or Slotgob at the time  point:
