Now that is what I am talkin' 'bout ... can you hook me up with a few ounces?

If the world was ending, it don't matter what you do. Suicide, or wait, no matter...

I'd be having fun watching the chaos in the streets.

You should read the book or watch the Gregory Peck movie, "On The Beach." It deals with people waiting for the end of the world after "the Bomb."

Harry Chickpea - apparently, commas matter.

Some serious prayer that it won't happen. Divine intervention.

Don't wait until the world is about to end before you would want to live life, start living it right now so that you won't end up regretting the life you lived.
because i am just not ready to get married now.

I'd go to Disneyland.


oh, wait...

Otherwise, just go to the beach and watch the melee ensue.

I mean, the earth is going to "split into 2" so there's a zero chance to survive.

Or, maybe talk Elon into a quick flight just before the split, then chase after 1 of the pieces. (Altho, that might be tough, as our trajectory would change.)

Just FYI, the Earth is cruising around our sun at a cool 67,739mph (currently.) Almost 19 miles per second.

And if you think that's fast, look up how fast our whole solar system is cruising around the universe. (We are hauling the mail.)

There's no bliss in ignorance. In fact, ignorance is destructive!

Oh, I apologise. So many people in here are claiming to be atheist, so I just assumed you would be one of them.

You don't need to be rich in order to get love. If the person could be his friend, they could as well be lovers; though that will depend on what they think of each other and how they feel about each other.
