nobody gets out of here alive!

Eh lads, in the long run i.e. the next hundred yrs, which is the blink of the eye in the history of this planet, none of us will survive?

Frankly, if it all falls apart which, I will admit, is a distinct possibility given our species propensity to F*%k things up (or the universe lobs a dinosaur killer or gamma ray burst at us) I think I'd rather die quick and clean then scrabble around in the wreckage, which is what the survivors will end up doing no matter how many packs of freeze dried rations they had stashed away.

Oh and reality check for all the mad max fantasists, probably the most dangerous/effective weapons you could obtain, even illegally, would be an AK47 or similar and maybe a few grenades?. Consider meeting a group of enterprising former members ( its all gone to sh1t, remember) of the defence forces in an armoured car with a 25mm chain gun and a GPMG? very short fight.

Nighty night.

Speak for yourself, I have a freezer rigged up special-like out Connemara way for me to topple into, spent the last eleven years excavating enough of a sinkhole to tap geothermal energy for power, so I'm banking on at least some soft tissues surviving to allow alien archaeologists to regrow the best bits in about ten million years. Never think short term in this game.

Odd thing about bullets, they're largely inedible. Anyway when the lord Humunguous rolls out of the wastelands I've my razor sharp boomerang all ready for action.

Really?? Did you work all that out by yourself.
One hundred years wow, jeez & here we were thinking we were going to live forever. :rolleyes:

I'm sure we'll find you hiding under your bridge.

Never mind we're sitting on an island & surrounded by water. Ever heard of fish?

You do realise that the best weapon is the human mind.
Neccessity is the mother of all inventions. :cool:
