Duct tape! The US Dept. of Homeland Security said so! Duct tape! It's not just for everything any more!

And MREs. And gas masks. And why bother with bottled water when you can buy a filter that removes both germs and radioactivity (of course, you could always simply distill it)? And protective plastic suits.

And toilet paper. You're gonna need lots of toilet paper.

Oops. It's hard to use the toilet paper when you're wearing the protective plastic suit.

Reminds me of Jerry Falwell and the move from 1999 to 2000. Supposedly, he knew that when 2000 dawned he'd be taken right up to Heaven. Yes, indeed, bodily assumed into heaven with all other Good Christians in The Rapture. So he stocked up on food and ammunition. Ammunition.

"Pardon me, God, but would you give me a hand with this case of 7.62mm ammo? I'm just arrived in heaven, and...what?"

I kinda doubt that Hull, whether in England or Illinois, will be the target of a terrorist attack.

Back during the first Gulf War, the story goes, the police in Fairbanks were called because of a suspected terrorist skulking around a local business. The cops investigated, and the next day they reported that they didn't think it likely that terrorist would be skulking around the local junkyard. In Fairbanks, Alaska. In January. And besides, the night watchman had worked there for years....

Actually, much of most governments SHOULD bend over, grab their ears, pull long and hard and steadily, and when they hear a sucking POP! their head will have come out of their arse.
