Lets say somebody informed you of a terrorist attack taking place in your area lets say a week away, now you decide to tell someone (your partner already knows so not them) but only one person because you don't want a panic to start

who do you tell?! who can guess how I got this idea?

I'd tell this guy I know who has a house in Bulgaria so that I could have a place to stay outside of the country:cool:

note: this was a rather hard decision because this is one of those people you wouldn't really want to save

The police?!

The person who screens call for Stephen Colbert.

The police?!

I can imagine that taking place:

"yeah hi, my friend told me there is going to be a terrorist attack"

*bonk*

*wakes up naked tied to a chair in gitmo*

you can only tell one person so I hope you like Cuba :p

What, a terrorist attack here. No way.

It simply makes no sense at all. So if I were to learn of one, I would tell the first psychiatrist that I met.

(Local factors can be very very important at times)

The police?!

I think i'd agree, the police or one of the emergency services.

One of the many perks of being married to a police officer is that I know most of her co-workers and have plenty of people to tell who would believe me without the need for CIA interrogation.

That, and when the neighbors call the police, they just let my wife know that I should cut it out. :D

I'd make a bet with someone for a million dollars that there would be an attack then.

Given that your partner already knows I don't think you'd have to tell anyone. She could just go 'Hai guyz, I iz a cop and teh terrorists be comin!'



Or you know, something more literate.

I didn't know Lunatic Goofballs was married to a female version of Ali G/

I know lots of cops (some in SWAT even) that also would believe me if I gave them such information without the need of a background check. :p

what makes you think the government won't be in on it!?

Ron Paul might get desperate and use his Internet powers!

Great. Now I'm gonna be seeing that the next time we cuddle. :(

Expect a weasel visit. >.<

Lunatic Goofball's wife is an LOLcat?

Would that be so terrible?

Knowing LG, I wouldn't be surprised.

its only matter of time before Libertarians start Allah-in their Akbar and then where does that leave you? yes thats it, walking to the shops to buy milk and hearing eerie voices quoting Ayn Rand!

The person who screens call for Stephen Colbert.

THIS comes across with a whiff of personal suffering.

The police?!

The Police consists of three people. You can't tell them all.

I, frankly, would tell Sting.

not unless you tell them as a group.

I'd tell someone at the Dallas-Fort Worth Airpot. Specifically, somone who can sell me a ticket to some place far, far away. The possibilities for an attack in my area are endless. Hell, there's a few giant above-ground containers of processed petrolium about 5 miles from my house. A single spark in those things... *shudders*

you might want to rethink that...

Ticket Lady at Airport (TLA): may I help you?
Anarcosyndiclic Peons (AP): yes, I need a ticket outta here... now.
TLA: err... sure... anyplace in particular you wanna go?
AP: just far away... there's gonna be a terrorist attack soon.
TLA: really... very... interesting... (pushing the slient alarm button to summon security)... howabout someplace... in...er... Cuba?

:p

First I would fly to Las Vegas, and then I would ask what are the odds of my town being struck by a terrorist attack, or the next town over (which would be Charlotte) and if the odds are that they are very unlikely to be attacked, then I will bet on that they will be attacked and win BIG! :D

I live in Colorado. I would find the nearest high school student who looked like Patrick Swayze and tell him. If that didn't work, I'd call my son in Denver. He used to be a cop before the paperwork got to him and he still has connections in the Department.
