convince myself that it won't/can't happen. and be happy/self-satisfied if it doesn't. and if it does... eh, who's to know? :)

I'd go outside, preferably to a really high place. Then wait. Assuming the earthquakes aren't too bad...

But right before Mars hit Earth, you'd have a few moments of really reduced gravity since you'd have two planets pulling on you at once, so maybe you'd experience 0.2 G's for a while instead of 1. This is assuming Mars is right over you of course...

But I'd be jumping 30 feet high, skipping with 20 foot strides, all that fun stuff. Not quite flying, but it's close. Hasn't everyone wanted to do that?

Then again, I might just sound like an ass because I only took high school physics. :)

i bet a good portion of the people here would still be posting, because even with destruction imminent, they wouldn't have the balls to find a chick.

I would step on my glasses and exclaim "It's not fair! There was time now! There was all the time in the world!"

What would you do? I'd run to the hills and wait it out!!! And I'd bring plenty of beer and chips.

What would you do?

:confused:
Die like everyone else on the Planet!

really though, I think I'd lie/sit somewhere and think, about everything. Wouldn't be in the mood for anything else.

What's the matter with you, it was just an off the cuff remark meant as a joke. He posted a silly reply and I made fun of it. Nobody but you seems to take it seriously.

And I was? Please note the smiley in my original reply. Can't help it you took my reply seriously, or even the explanation of the joke.

I'd sit in my room looking at all the things I'd aquired and think about all the things I'd done and hopefully, I'd be happy with myself. Then maybe I'd make a "MARS ABOUT TO HIT US" playlist with songs such as "Soundgarden - Black Hole Sun". Maybe I'd join a Quake1 server and smile with the thought that maybe my online persona would live on somewhere else. With that thought, I'd perish.
