If a big one were to ever hit the only place in the world that will be still functioning is the third world. What will you do without your car and debit card?

Without a car I would be just fine.

Without the debit card I'd be screwed.

I know you're already infected but some of us still have to worry about prion diseases.

You only get diseases like that if you eat the brain, aka head-cheese. The thighs are all good.

How do you think I knew about this book? There are two types of people in this world, the effer and the effee. I plan on being at the top of the food chain no matter what.

Ah, no...all it takes is you eating tissue with abnormal prion protein. You're safe though...I am sure of it.

Yea, and he was probably the person that brought up the concern about Y2k or what ever that was called. It would not be easy at first but I could adjust and survive off the land. Not sure what the wife would eat but I could catch enough fish and kill enough animals to survive. If it only lasted two years we could fix the obesity problem as the fat people would be the first to die or they would loose allot of weight.

How do you know there would be fish and other animals left?

Yeah you're right, I am BSing a little. If it came down to it I would probably eat people, but there are plenty of other things to eat first. I already know of a ton of things to eat in the wild. Black Oak leaves, briar leaves, salad greens, dandelions, sassafras, etc.

Um Duh, Because they don't rely on a power grid for survival.
