Random Thought for Thursday 9/3/15

I've said it before and I'll say it again ... we are living in apocalypse-adjacent times, of that I am certain.

As such, I want to provide what I consider to be useful information should you find yourself in the midst of a nuclear blast ... well, maybe more like in the *vicinity* of a nuclear blast, as if you are in the midst of a nuclear blast, you are already nothing but a shadow.

But if you are in the *vicinity* of a nuclear blast, a recent fear-mongering documentary I saw provided this advice:

FIRST, avert your eyes.  Think of it as an eclipse, and hear the voice of your elementary school science teacher saying "don't look directly into the sun"!

SECOND, open your mouth (momentarily ... see below), to save your ears.  Apparently the insta-pressure is enough to blow out the drums, and then you wouldn't be able to hear all the screams of the people around you.  On second thought ... maybe this is more an optional suggestion.

THIRD, close your mouth, for a good long time -- you know, to avoid breathing in the fallout ... for the next hundreds of millions of years or so.

After that, you're kind of on your own.  But, thanks to those tips, you'll be in a better place to explore a much worse place.

You're welcome.
