Hypothetical:
You live somewhere in the world where some nation (it really doesn't matter who) has fired a nuclear weapon.

Delivered by truck perhaps, or by donkey cart, or even by ICBM - that doesn't matter either.

You have about 10 minutes of warning (in which time you're not going to make it out of the blast radius).

What do you do with your remaining 10 minutes on Earth?

Yeah, I guess drinking would be the way to go. Maybe fire off some apology emails to people I might have wronged.

My death wouldn't be the end of the world though, hell, the death of our species wouldn't be the end of the world.
Not bad

From the point of view of your ability to observe events, it sure would be the end.

Get drunk, try and convince my girlfriend that now (being the last man on earth speech with a twist) would be a perfect time for some lovin'.

You win. You've shown the leadership skills in this thread of Dan Qualye.

As to what I would do in such a situation... I guess I'd try to find the nearest bank vault. Then when I emerge unscathed I can read all the books I like without my damned wife.... *glasses break* ...but ... that's not fair! There was TIME now!:p

Well I have been playing life at the Chieftain level.

Yes, I am a sad, sad, little man.
