4 minutes. What do you do?
 
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFIIIIIWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.


The first missiles are launched on a Thursday in September. It's 12:04pm EST. The alarm goes off. All television stations have a countdown. 00:04:00, 00:03:59, 00:03:58.

THE WORLD IS GOING TO END!


You have four minutes left. Where are you, and how do you act? Could you get to your family in time? Would you phone them? Do you use the time to find a safe place where you might survive? Are you out in the country and more likely to survive it? Do you use the time to do something you always wanted to do? Hell, do you have a quickee with the office hottie so you die happy?

I'm interested since playing Fallout 3 and reading Watchmen.

Four minutes? I'd do nothing.

I'd stop reading Watchmen and Playing Fallout 3.


can't do anything in 4 minutes........well...my wife would tell you differently.

I'd grab a cold beer .

12 04 PM would be 9 34 PM my time.

Tell my wife and mother how much I love them, and do my best to haul them both into a safe place. If no such options come to mind immediately, hold them tight and wait for the inevitable.

Aww September at around noon I would be at school, and not around a tv unless I was in the pub (not likely on a Thursday). Derek would be at school aswell, about 15 minutes away but both of our school have bunkers so I would make my way toward mine while carrying my laptop in hopes that he would be online (which is usually the case cause his seminar notes are online) and tell him I love him and for him to try to find a safe place.

Easy.

I would take the elevator down to Basement 9, grab a beer from the fridge, throw a frozen pizza in the microwave and turn on the tv..

Damn it's awsome being president. :cool:

Four minutes because for the Four Minute Warning. Britain had it during the Cold War. It was there in case the nukes were launched, and 4 minutes was the estimated time until "the end of the world".
