    James R...here is a scenario:

    you wake up earlier than usual at 4 am to go to restroom...its way too humid in the room so you open the windows, suddenly in the moonlight you notice that 20 dollar bill is carried by the wind out of your room to outside, you put on the slippers and a jacket...go outside to get the dollar bill, you pick it up and notice that on the horizon there is some very bright flash of light. the flash of light grows and grows and you realize that it is a nuclear explosion. You know from the weather forecast that the wind will change in your direction in exactly one hour.

    What do you do during that one hour? (you have a car...you can hide from nuclear fallout...)

    Maybe.

    I'm not a die-hard football fan, and I rarely go to games. I like soccer, but don't pay attention to the English league or anything like that. I'll tune in for the World Cup every four years. The big football game in Victoria, Australia, is Australian Rules football (AFL). Everybody here is expected to follow an AFL team in some way.

    When I visit other places, I generally like to go to the natural places rather than to cities. In a sense, all big cities are the same. But natural wonders are different in different places. I like wide open spaces and getting close to nature. Not that I hate cities, though. I'm especially interested in the culture and history of great cities.

    Yes, I have, although only to certain parts of it, and not to the major cities. Yes, I enjoyed my visits there.

    I've never been to Germany, but have a number of German friends and would like to go there.

    I phone those in my family who don't live with me to warn them, gather up those who do live with me, grab some essential stuff, jump in the car and head for the hills!

    Ok James.

    It is year 1941, you are a german working for the machine industry in Austria...the Nazists are giving out leaflets, the leaflets read "Those who wish Germany good sign up for the Nazist party, we pay, have benefits, give you shelter and a car!"
    When you come home there is a wife and three children waiting for you. She smiles, and the kids are also running around happy. You have been just told that the factory you worked for is close down in a week and you have no way of supporting your family.

    What do you do?

    James, what is your comment about this post:

    This is just the best thread to ask about that :idea:

    Also, if you could meet any sciforums member, who would it be? Plazma Inferno?

    James, if you had to choose between dying now, or spending the rest of your life alone on mars, which would you choose.

    Sign up for the Nazi factory and join the underground resistance.

    Flattery will get you everywhere.

    There are a few I would quite happily sit down and have a beer with. I've done that with other people I've met on the internet.

    Then there are people who I wouldn't go near with a barge pole - mostly nutty nutballs from nutsville.

    Depends on the test, but in principle, yes. Researchers need subjects.

    Life would be a giant raflesia.

    hehe. Just kidding.

    I guess Mars. Most things would have to be better than dying.

    JamesR, if you had to spend the rest of your life on Mars, and could bring one member of sciforums with you, who would it be?

    Or Baron Max, maybe. It would annoy the hell out of him.

    (I mean, do you seriously expect me to answer that? Or should that be: do you expect me to answer that seriously?)

    JamesR, If sciforums had a mission statement, what would that statement be?

    JamesR.

    one day you are walking in a park, you see a girl not far from you...she is holding a grenade (with the ring removed) and standing there frozen. You cannot see her face as she is standing near the rim of the water. What do you do?
