billvon 2,998 #1 February 21, 2003 So I was checking out ready.gov and came across this page. One of the pictures on there (presumably for people who can't read or who prefer pictures) shows a grid of city streets. It suggests that if a nuclear blast occurs on the corner of the city block you're in, it might be a good idea to leave the area. Now THAT's some optimistic thinking, there.

harryskydives 0 #8 February 22, 2003 Humm last time I was in a nuclear explosion, Oh never mind we were just trying to launch a 16-way chunk. Don't run out of altitude and experience at the same time... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then again, if it were to occur, (and it won't because we will launch preemptive strikes) the stupid people will bitch that they were never warned or how can we prevent it from happening (again.)

Well, you answer this because I can't. If it won't happen "because we will launch preemptive strikes", why is the US Government warning us about it and telling us how to deal with it? Isn't that a waste of our tax dollars? Duct tape: the answer to Life, The Universe, and Everything.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

If "Shark" writes something illogical and I question him on it, why is that a complaint? You only think I'm complaining because I disagree with your point of view. However, since you asked nicely, I will tell you my first act as President: I would fire whoever it was that came up with the duct-tape idea as an appropriate response to terrorist attack....

Darius11 12 #22 June 17, 2004 I have the perfect Idea how a skydiver can survive a nuclear explosion. 1. Boom you see white light 2. But on Black tinted goggles 3. Face White light 4. Throw out pilot chute 5. Be ready to Flair a little. 6. Nuclear wind hits you hard…. Flair 7. I said Flair now you are gently picked up by the force of the wind 8. Now you are being pulled away from the blast by the blast isn’t that great Step nine is only if you’re really really close to the blast 9. Blow on main to keep it cool and to stop it from melting. If you follow these steps in a nuclear blast you will be safe trust me I am Iranian.I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
