Isnt it believed by some researchers that in-case of a big meteor/asteroid like that hitting Earth, the atmosphere would just burn. Cant remember exactly how it was, but the point is, even much smaller asteroid could kill most life on earth due to the dust etc. that would raise up to the atmosphere and either poison it (=acid rains) and/or block the sunlight on most parts of the earth causing the temperature to lower very fast.

Hmm, yeah, it will either burn or get blown away by the shockwave.

Aye, something like that. But darn scary. I mean, it sounds so distant now, but it can be just tomorrow that they spot an asteroid coming at earth. :doh:

I am pretty safe, no one is crazy enough to nuke a town as irrelevant as the one I live in. But if they did, the town would quite likely cease to exist.

^^This. Sometimes it just pays to live in a small town like this. :) (tho it's kinda close to the Russian border. :hmmm:)

So you survive the immediate blast and live to die from the effects of the resulting nuclear winter?

If the bomb ever does go off I hope it lands 2 feet in front of me. Luckily there's a few important military bases near me. So if it does happen, I'm pretty sure I'll be one of the initial casualties.

I wouldn't want to be part of the aftermath and start living in the stone age.

Could finally put my recon training to work then, would be awesome. Like Fallout 2, except with less mutants.

Hmpf... now just started to think of it. Chernobyl happened in 1986, I was born in '86, AFAIK some of the radiation came by the SW coast of Finland where I was born. :hmmm:

No wonder I'm such and *******. :yep:

Yeah, that's about as radioactive as your beer compared to what would come if nukes started going off in major population centers.

Finnish Mutant Ferret next?

Too bad the comic books are wrong though, think of how awesomely bad it would be if me and Dowly had super powers!

Awesomely bad. Nuff' said. :salute:

So thats how dowly bacame a ferret...

That'll be Mr. Ferret to you. :yep:

Not if you clean your house.

According to "The National Clean up - Paint up - Fix Up Bureau" (not kidding, it actually did exist) all you have to do is clean up and paint your house, it will survive a nuclear bomb. In this Federal Civil Defense Administration film they show the actual proof.

And has been hit by tideal waves, floods, freeding cold, king kong, should I keep going...:rotfl:

so thats why houses from programs in the 50s and 60s the houses are so neat...

If Morgan Freeman was the president not even the asteroid could take the ah-muh-ri-cans out.

Chernobyl fallout ended up in the moss in the Lapland. The Lappish therefore took the brunt of it when they ate the reindeer meat.

I live in what is basically a city split in two by a river. The towns founders decided to make it two towns so football would be interesting I guess.

all bombs up to ivy mike destroy my town, Ivy mike obliterates both of them. everytthing else blows up most of northern illinois...

My town would be wiped out by a MOAB let alone a nuke! :haha:
