Supposing you are assigned the job of choosing who to save in the event of a gobal crisis you've saved all the people important to you like family etc. But you have one spare seat, who else would you take? They must be person who is alive at the time you post.

I think I'd take David Attenborough because he looks like the kind of person that would be fun to have around  ;D


Who would you save?

Pfft, i'd leave of my family to rot.  So I would most likely save a musician like DJ SiSeN, or a fashion icon like Hakuei. <3

I'd save Natalie Portman.

You know, for repopulation purposes.

You were my greatest mistake, I fell in love with your sin
Your littlest sin.

Since children are the future, I'd save a woman who will be able to reproduce the species. Or a specialist in cloning primates.  ;)

I'm going to go with David Cross even though I don't think he'd really appreciate being saved.
Who's he?

He's a standup comedian/actor. And he's a delightfully caustic athiest.  ;D
I googled him and I have seen him a couple of times and he's good  ;D

Odds are that, if the world was ending or some such, my own ass would be on the line too. That is the very first ass I'd attempt to save. All other tickets, I'd sell for money.

You're nothing if not consistant  :D

I am who I am. Always. (Except on days when I get my paycheck, the weather is perfect, I have a perfect smoke after waking up at noon, a perfect bowel movement over a perfect newspaper and the TV is not full of crap... Needless to say, my perfect days are... Far between.)

Oh..! If I felt like the world was collapsing to the point where money would be useless, then I'd sell the tickets for like... Earthly goods. Things I might want in the brave new world.

I'd take Norah Jones. What a doll baby.

You better select your currency wisely, I suggest rum.

David Attenborough seems very nice but he may be pretending, anyway he's very very old and probably wouldn't be around for long.

I'd probably not invite anyone, I'd remove the standard seat on offer, replace it with a cosy one and fill it up with stuff.  There's no way my wife would let me take Norah Jones so I'm taking stuff.

Can I save my cats? Or would they count as family?
"We've thought of life by analogy with a journey, with pilgrimage which had a serious purpose at the end, and the THING was to get to that end; success, or whatever it is, or maybe heaven after you're dead. But, we missed the point the whole way along; It was a musical thing and you were supposed to sing, or dance, while the music was being played.

No they'd be classified as livestock.

I disagree, cats are family.  In fact, since they're often better than human family I think that after all your cats get their own seat the spare seat should go to one of their cat friends.  At least there'll be no problem with the mice and rats that will have sneaked aboard.
