If civilization were to end and you could save 3 things, what would you save? They must be actual objects. You can't say stuff like an unlimited supply of porn, electricity, chicks, etc.

Since when is a girl (guy in the case of AT female members) not an object worth saving? (I do not mean to be negative using object as a descriptive term)

In my mind people don't count as objects...

1) That 22 lb lobster someone posted a picture of the other day
2) A G4 mac (I heard they can do everything. Just like Jesus.)
3) And..................The Lombardi trophy. Just because I want to see it up close and I know for damn sure the Lions aren't going to ever win it.

I'd take over a nice giant castle or fortress somewhere pleasant in europe, arm it to the teeth, power it with solar electricity, hold all of humanity's knowledge in a giant computer database and fill it with friends, family, and lots of hot babes.

:D

A large pepperoni pizza, a six pack of beer, and all of the episodes of Gilligan's Island.

If civilization ended, I wouldn't need a computer (don't play any games, and the Interent would be gone). I'm kidding anyway.

1) Family
2) Friends
3) Car

What are we saving for? here are my answers baised on what I am saving for.

for posterity:
Encyclopedia set
"the dilbert future"
A vehicle of some kind

For me:
My truck
A refinary to fuel it.
my computer ( with lots of e-books or something to read )

What I would probably save if I were the last one on Earth
Rifle
Lots 'o rounds
Best damn survival knife I could find.

Hmm.. Some of you seem to think that if civilization ended, we would all be dead. Nah.. It would take an extreme disaster (Like an asteroid blowing half the planet away.. lol) to end mankind... Some poeple would survive.. and pretty much start all over again.

And I'll be one of them. :D

Oh, and as for the question... Hmmm....

Three things? That's not really fair.. lol..

Hmm...

A method of transportation with a methanol burning engine; an ATV perhaps
A small tabletop still
A "survival kit." :p

I think that would give me a good head start. :D

Hence the Advanced Power Armor and Plasma Rifle :D

Or for traditionalists, sawed-off shotgun, leather outfit and a really mean wolf-dog.

The government is actually working towards powered exoskeletons now, so if civilization waits another 10-15 years to collapse my Fallout gear might be as close as the nearest army base (or disgruntled supply sgt. from same).
