The US government has a website, www.ready.gov (http://www.ready.gov)

The thing is that the pictures from the site are so ambiguous they could mean anything! Here are a few interpretations.

When running upstairs, don’t set yourself on fire.

If you spot terrorism, blow your anti-terrorism whistle. If you are Vin Diesel, yell really loud.

If you spot a terrorist arrow, pin it against the wall with your shoulder

If you are sprayed with an unknown substance, stand and think about a cool design for a new tattoo.

The proper way to eliminate smallpox is to wash with soap, water and at least one (1) armless hand.

Michael Jackson is a terrorist. If you spot this smooth criminal with dead, dead eyes, run the heck away.

Hurricanes, animal corpses and your potential new tattoo have a lot in common. Think about it.

Be on the lookout for terrorists with pinkeye and leprosy. Also, they tend to rub their hands together manically.

Try to absorb as much of the radiation as possible with your groin region. After 5 minutes and 12 seconds, however, change the focus point to your head.

After exposure to radiation it is important to consider that you may have mutated to gigantic dimensions: watch your head.

If you've become a radiation mutant with a deformed hand, remember to close the window. No one wants to see that crap.

If you hear the Backstreet Boys, Michael Bolton or Yanni on the radio, cower in the corner or run away fast.

If your lungs and stomach start talking, stand with your arms akimbo until they stop.

If you are trapped under falling debris, conserve oxygen by not breaking wind.

If you lose a contact lens after a terrorist attack, be sure to look for it. If you cannot find it, it is probably best to have a good cry.

Do not drive a station wagon if a power pole is protruding from the hood.

A one-inch thick piece of plywood should be sufficient protection against radiation.

If you are being approached by a hurricane or colorful streamers, immediately choke yourself to show them that you are a bad ass and scare them away.

In case of an explosion, consult the nearest mall directory.

This one made me think of the days when SNL was funny. "Knock-knock. Candygram ..."
Don't open the door if radiation knocks and pretends to deliver a candygram.

Well its just Town A, B, and C who seem to be in danger. Town C is around the St. Louis area, Town B is around Springfield, and I have no idea whats around Town A.....corn fields probably. It looks like Kansas City will be spared ;).

But if someone is so compelled to come rescue me from Missouri, then I won't complain :).
