Giant Meteor Headed for Earth!

Ok, not really. I wish, but not really.

If it was announced that there was a giant earth-killing meteor headed straight for us, and it wasn't going to miss, what would you do? There's 48 hours left before the meteor hits, and Bruce Willis isn't going to save your ass. What would you do? What would happen to society? How would you handle it?

Stand in front of Bruce Willis' house. Despite what you say, Bruce Willis WILL do something. Whether or not it will be helpful remains to be seen.

I would start a short lived rgime and mercilessly control the people, oppressing them and destroying society.
Then I would have them charge into a missle silo, take it over, find a way to destroy the f***ing meteor... and then continue my reign of terror. :twisted:

Hang out in my back yard with a good book and my DS then just before the meteor hits go "I totally called it." All of this without looking up at it even once.

Can go to the pub for the next 12 hours, after that it seems all fun again,
I hear babies cry, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

I was going to bring her too. 12 hours of three-way sex is a great way to bring in the end of the world.

EDIT: Of course, we'll also have to steal a jet a couple of hours before impact, and fly to about 100nm from wherever it's going to impact and watch from 40,000ft. That's a once in a lifetime sight, and you don't want to miss that shit.

Lol I would join in the 48 last hours of robbery, looting, murder, rape, and rioting that would surely ensue after people heard of this.

Yeah, well, that's predictable enough. We're all gonna party, right?

More interesting scenario:

There is a giant meteor headed for Earth. It's not just giant, it's Earth-sized. It's going to splatter our poor little planet into red-hot globs of earthy snot.

But ... it won't get here for TEN YEARS.

Now, tell me that's not more fun.
