A survey in Briton asked people, "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?"

I think I'd spend time with the family and go outside and watch it happen. What would you do?

I'd probably do that too, but I bore easily and after fifteen minutes, I'll probably search for something fun to do. Like running around in ever-widening circles totally naked and screamng my lungs out. :)

That shows considerable progress from you. Now if only people came to be held in such high esteem as inanimate objects.

Anyway, what is your favorite weapon?

I don't own any weapon nor have I handled an object meant to be used as a weapon, so I can't answer that question. Surgical lasers, though, are kind of cool but not very effective as weapons, if I were to be allowed to choose something that could be used as one but isn't meant to be.

Probably blow up NASA. I mean how the heck do you miss a "Global Killer" Asteroid until it is less than an hour away.

I'd think a week or twos warning is not unreasonable. Maybe I want to have a small chance at saving my self. Or at the very least having one heck of a party.

Resignation, I suppose. After the initial 5 minutes of realisation that I had absolutely no control, I would go into damage control. Probably see if I could get a hold of some powerful painkillers, sedatives, or narcotics (the earth rending won't feel nice for me), then spend the rest of the time eating something nice with my wife, a quick shag, shoot up and cradle each other to darkness.

Well it depends on your location to the impact

If your less than 1,000 miles within the impact your toast

But for the rest of us we'd all linger for two or three days more


I probably run outside stark naked and dance in the rain of molten rock and ash


Afterwards I would probably have a last meal of delicious snacks and beverages looted from the nearest convienience store since preparing a sumptous last meal would take too long.

In most duels taking place after 1800, both combatants walked away alive. Generally one was bleeding bad enough to concede, or the doctors told them further dueling was inadvisable.

I've changed considerably over the past few months. It is conceivable you are alluding to a statement I made prior to that change. I must inform you I disagree with what I used to say.

Send up a couple hundred nuclear warheads and blast that rock apart. Sure we'd have radiation up the ass but civilization as a whole has a better chance of suviving.

If that doesn't work I'd uh... bend over and kiss my ass goodbye? Actually I never thought about what I would do.

I'd fill a bottle with whatever juice we happen to have at home on doomsday. I hope we'll have some cranberry juice. Then walk out into the forest and leisurely walk around aimlessly in the serene nature while listening to the blissful birds. That'd be the perfect place to pray a bit and think through as many memories from my life as I could cover in an hour.

If that is too boring then let's say I'd take a bath in chocolate pudding together with all my stuffed animals. Then fill a water gun with beetroot juice and run around naked in town spraying people while screaming like a madman. I'd also pee on the hood of the most expensive car I can find, then jump up and down on it's roof howling at the asteroid.

PS. An asteroid would have to be ridiculously big to kill everything worldwide on impact.

In this case, the United States: the sport? Dueling with real swords...or pistols....

Hee...

As for me...no idea. I'd like to say sex but there is no one nearby that would be willing.

However, I find this situation extremely unlikely. There is no way we'd miss something until it was that close. Amateur astronomers would easily spot it at least a week and a half before it impacted even if "lack of funding" somehow caused NASA and all of the other space-watching organizations to miss it.

I'd lay down in the grass
As time would slowly pass
approaching the end of the human race
as I stare death in the face

There's no one I would rather see
So don'y worry about me
There's nothing I'd rather do instead
moments before I wind up dead

Nothing's quite like the thrill
as waiting to get killed
by a rock from outer space
as I stare death in the face

It's so obvious, you should see
our very destinies
And I will display some grace
As I stare death in the face

sex, drugs and .. maybe a last songAll around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow

And I find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very mad world mad world
