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.
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.

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?

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.

We are supposed to be talking a thought experiment, it's not real, of course you can take who you like. The idea is if you have taken all the important stuff (including pets etc.) and you have one spare seat who would you gift it to?

Surely a perfect bowel movement over a perfect newspaper would just create a real mess! Personally I would still prefer to use a bog standard toilet.

So where are we going on this escape from global catastrophe?
New Zealand or Alpha Centauri B's New New Zealand?
Cats have already wreaked their havoc in New Zealand, if we need cats to control the rats we've let slip aboard, well that's two reasons for me to sabotage the warp reactor.

If we absolutely
have to give the spare seat to a human being, I'll second this.
QuoteActully is there anybody in your family you would laugh out of the window at as you left?
Oh yeah. While petting the cat who took their seat.
What kinda cats are they? :)
I just have a grumpy orange tabby.
Hopefully in the future I can have a cat as cute as this guy though (genetically altered to stay this small! ;) )

I would save Elizabeth Warren and give up my seat for Stephen Hawking. At the end of the day, I am unimportant in the grand scheme of our modern species, and would rather a great thinker, someone capable of changing society for the better, be saved in my place. I would die knowing my death had meaning and knowing that my family was safe.

Some fiftyish librarian will offer her spare seat to Hugh Jackman and your lecherous plans will come to naught but disappointment. Don't expect any gratitude, we ultra glamorous people expect such generosity as our due.
