h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

That is the stupidest question I can think of.

well, it is and it isn't, if there was the possibly of a forewarning, like an asteriod was definately heading our way for instance, I would at least like to be awake for it and like any other situation in I am facing my known death say the things I want say and be with the people I want to be with and who want to be with me

it is just stupid because it is not happening

The suggestion that I should do something different because the world is about to end implies that I'm not doing what I should be doing at the moment. I enjoy what I'm doing, whether it is work or play.

I supposed I enjoy play more than work, so if the world was really going to end, I'd rather stop working and do some more play.

I'd probably make myself a nice cup of coffee.

That's why Gnomon is our role model. He is our sanity Claus.

It is perhaps a good thought experiment to wonder what do you want to see done before the end, and then go and do it. Like Alan Watts's suggestion, 'What would you like to do if money were no object? Do that.' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2L_cGjQSR80

Nice tag spotted on boofcake: People are making apocalypse jokes like there's no tomorrow.

Lie down and put a paper bag over my head, of course.

TRiG.

Keep calm and carry on?

That's the ticket.
