If the world was ending, what 9 creatively witty (serious or humorous)
things would you most want to take and/or have with you ?

If the world is ending, what's the point?

Assuming you mean as I escape aboard a passing extraterrestrial space vessel?

I would take:

Four very big and glossy hardback books I have, which are:

1. About Earth, its geography, its mineral composition, with lots of detail of its mineral deposits, cave systems, river systems, mountains, valleys, tectonics, oceans, cities and other points of interest.

2. About Earth's animal and plant life, in its great variety.

3. About Earth history.

4. A detailed Atlas.

I will be able to preserve our world and its people in memory, and in alien records (the ETs can translate it all into their databases, I'm sure)

As for the other 5:

5. Samples of Terran food and drink, so they'll be able to replicate nourishment suitable for my body chemistry.

6. My Ipod, so as to preserve our music (or at least that music I like ;))- I'm sure the advanced ETs will be able to copy and reproduce it.

7. The Quartz crystal I carry with me almost everywhere (long story)

8. Pen and paper, to record memories of my life and experiences as part of my "save records of humanity and Earth" idea.

9. A towel, obviously.;)

Hmm.

Well, there's bound to be a good party at the end of the world so:

1) black tie outfit (ok, cheating a little to count this as one item, but since there won't be any courts after the world ends, I'm assuming I won't get sued).
2) a crate of 1990 Pol Roger Cuvee Winston Churchill
3) flexible morals

Items 4 thru 9? Who needs them.

My recliner. A place to sit is always a must.
 
Re: If the world was ending,what 9 things would you take or have with

My dogs, my laptop and lots of coffee should get me through it. :)

Depends in what way the world is ending, but generally speaking 8 pump action shotguns and an armoured vehicle usually match most end-of-the-world scenarios I've come across. :lol:

Obviously not a cellphone subscription...

That depends on where I'd be going!
 
Re: If the world was ending,what 9 things would you take or have with

Yes, this is a poorly conceived question.

Assuming I actually get to take these things somewhere i'd take the following albums:


Queen II
A Night at the Opera
News of the World

My guitar, a cd player, my amp, my bike, the entire wine yield of Spain from 1991 to 2009, a hydroponics bay stocked with cuttings and seeds of the the 15 best cannabis plants ever, and a lifetimes supply of Fillet Steak and vitamin pills.
 
Re: If the world was ending,what 9 things would you take or have with

9 other people.
 
Re: If the world was ending,what 9 things would you take or have with

Then eat them when you are starving to death.
 
Re: If the world was ending,what 9 things would you take or have with

Can i take people with me? Possessions don't really matter all that much to me, but my loved ones do.

I'm going with you! :eek:
 
Re: If the world was ending,what 9 things would you take or have with

Obviously, all you need is a towel.

I'm not even going to contribute thanks to the awesomeness of your 9 things. Good day, sir.
