The World is Going to End

Depends on the phrasing of the question. If it’s as listed above, I would probably sit back and accept the inevitable. But if the question stated that “you have one hour until the asteroid hits,” then I’d be busy (depending on the circumstances):
* Getting myself in a bunker somewhere, or seeking higher ground, or hanging onto life as much as possible
* Writing some final words on some sort of durable, permanent medium, in hopes that they’ll be found someday by survivors and I’ll live on at least in that way

I’d do all that Gadren has mentioned. Large asteroids have struck the earth hundreds of times. Major extinctions have resulted but there have always been survivors. We are their descendants. Even if humanity goes extinct, maybe someday the evolved squids or whatever can argue on a blog about what I wrote. 😉

Why would you loot if you were going to die in an hour?

As for my second choice, I’d probably eat chocolate. I haven’t had any in months.

The 2% looting is really weird, what are they gonna do loot for 45min and then setup and enjoy that HDTV for 15min?
For me it’s loved ones definitely with champagne 🙂

Huh? Not now, I’m busying helping the scientists divert the astroid.

Oh a more realistic answer? Well that could happen.

I’d probably spend time with my family and hope the scientists are successful. You know they are going to try until the darn thing hits us.

Sing “it’s the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine..”

Seriously I’d probably call my mom. Or else, esp in the case where I know there is absolutely nothing I can do to avoid the asteroid, I’d sit and meditate.

Have sex WHILE looting.

No calling the family for me.

…What? The phone lines would be down worldwide from overstrain. Duh. I’d try to reach them to be with them, of course. Probably by foot – think of the traffic. Ugh.

Hotwire a space shuttle.

Have sex WHILE looting AND drinking (looted) champagne AND talking to loved ones. No time like the present to learn to multitask!!

Though, seriously, I’d be still trying to divert/destroy the damn thing.

I’m with mollishka on this one.

I like Polly’s higher ground idea. Whatever it took to survive it, I would give it a shot.

There’s a scene in the Simpsons movie where it looks like the town is doomed; everyone in Moe’s bar runs into the church and everyone in the church runs into the bar.

Go outside and watch the show.

Get me the man of my dreams (not telling) and I would consider sex. 😆

Would it be a good time to come out as an atheist and confess my crush on Terry Farrell?

No? Dang, thought not.

First of all, I would bail out of the house, because the last thing I want to be doing in my last hour on Earth is hearing my family oooh and ahhh over the upcoming Tribulation, etc. I would do absolutely nothing to spoil this idea for them; ignorance is truly bliss.

Then I would sing a lot. Top of the list would be “Opera, pt. 1” from Final Fantasy 6, some Phantom of the Opera pieces… pretty much anything I could pour a lot of emotion into. A way to keep my mind and emotions focused away from my troubles. Unfortunately, there’s no way I could keep going for a whole hour. I would probably write some personal messages to friends and family (which, of course, they would never read), maybe destroy something for stress relief, and cry a lot. ‘Cause I’m a weenie.
