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".

Call certain people to make some amends and apologies, then put on a good song and wait for the end.

Your time ran out half way through the first call.

If you wanna go speak to the Russians or Chinese and ask for "a bit more time", Neverending, then go ahead!

I'm not asking for more time- just pointing out 4 minutes is a very short period.

I'm thinking the same. Grab my family, and watch as the world comes tumbling down.
The end of the world, really isn't so scary, when you consider the awful things that mankind has done. And look at it this way, you'd have no worries after that.
:cool:
Honestly, I don't think it's going to happen in "2012", like everyone says. Personally, I believe if it does, it will be because people will bring it to pass. Mostly for the sake of religion.

Frantically try new beatbox styles to try and discover the one that deflects missiles.

What about the remaining 3 minutes?
Eat a slice of pizza?
Id jump in the car and give it toes away from big population centres, you never know it may make a difference.

Love this idea! Its the sort of crazy innovation that just might work. :D

I like the idea of getting to a rooftop and watching the show. You're not gonna be able to see another nuclear explosion!

You'd have to find a dealer first, then go to the ATM to draw out some money. Dont think 4 mins would be enough.

I live about a 10 minute drive away from a top ten likely target during an act of war. I still think I'd cram my family in the truck and atleast give surviving a chance. If anything, you're gonna get to see alot more action outside than indoors.
That or I'd feverishly masterbate in bathroom.

I'm not far off likely nuke target either. Quite worrying when I think about it. More worrying for the people that live there.
