Poll: The moon is falling...now what do you do?

[kiwi_poo]

the moon is in orbit, which basically means that it is always falling

 

[Nimzar]

Like so many others:

 

[NinjaRabies]

Other... I would find a rooftop, drink a couple of beers and some whiskey... Some heavy metal on my MP3 and watch the world die.

Sounds like a lovely evening. Guess I would do something like that in the last hours. Climb high and just watch the moon collide into earth. Awesome sight.

... That or take a nap.

 

[pejhmon]

Aim an RPG up and hope for the best. If that doesn't work then rinse and repeat

 

[Guffe]

Play the Song of Time.

This was going to be my answer exactly, I am somewhere on post 250 something so I guess you've been quoted many times enough but congratulations for being the first one with that answer ^^

/insert Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask Comment here.

 

[KefkaCultist]

I'm sure a lot of people have already said Majora's Mask comments but heres another...
Play song of time backwards to reset to the beginning of the 1st day

 

[Zephel]

Well if I don't die from the resulting tidal effects of the moon coming close that I imagine we'd have, I'd probably quit my job and stay move in with my boyfriend, play all the video games I haven't had time to yet but wanted to, download the Cataclysm expansion of WoW and hope I get to play a little of it before impact, play from Zelda songs on my OoT replica in some vain attempt to buy more time, hope that Piccolo or Simon or some other fictional character show up and do something about it....that'd be more near the end when I can make out the creator on the moon mind you.

tl:dr-Get out my Ocarina of Time replica and start playing every Zelda song I know in hopes that I can summon Four Giants or the Windfish or something else large/powerful enough to smack the moon back into proper orbit.

 

[Fraught]

If I were honest, I'd be placed on probation or be suspended for a few days, so... The "PARTY!!!!" option describes the tame version of what I'd be doing.

Yeah, this is pretty much my answer too.

 

[Zephel]

You watch TV and you learn that the moon is falling.What would you do with your last few days?

Use every cent I have to charter a plane filled with fuel that will stay in the air when for the duration of the moon crash. It's worth a shot?

Make it a blimp instead. And host a children's card game tournament to pass the time

 

[Outright Villainy]

No, the Song of Time would only jump you back 3 days and prolong the impact. You have to play the Oath to Order and summon the four giants to stop it.

Though, that doesn't really make much sense when you think about it.
I mean, for them to have stopped it, they'd have to have exerted an equal force on the earth, because they're standing on it, negating the whole process.

Damn you newton!

 

[Ithos]

Travel back in time 72 hours with the help of a mask or something (never played Zelda:MM, but hey...)

or do like they do on the screw attack special

 

[deth2munkies]

Play the Song of Time.

Aaaand ninja'd.

Should have been in the poll.

 

[rokkolpo]

PARTY LIKE A ************!

really the last few days on earth would be easily the best.

 

[iamjonah]

Wonder what I'm doing in a SyFy original movie...

 

[Lacsapix]

Grab my ocarina and play "The Oath of Order" and then the giants will do the rest.

PARTY! The Moon falling into Earth will probably kill us all, so live that there is no tomorrow!

But the Moon won't fall into us. It's actually slowly drifting away. I think about a foot or two every couple of years.

I read it was only a few inches. Maybe I'm wrong.

I'd go and see my physics teacher and demand him to explain how this is happening? Then I'd likely party and fight with everyone else to try to stay alive against some inevitable death. Which is quite strange, because we all die. Yet somehow, the knowledge of when you will die changes our behaviour.

I imagine I'd watch in tears and rage, if I survived long enough, as the moon destroyed everything I knew, everything I loved and everything I respected.

It is indeed! Also, the Earth's rotation is slowing as its energy is transferred to the moon.

It's incredibly slow though. A foot or two is probably stretching it.

Admittedly, I didn't take the time to check how much the moon is falling out of orbit. I just remembered reading it a while back, and posted. So I'm not sure how much off the top of my head.

To be honest, whether it's inches or feet, it's insignificant on the cosmic scale. Let's put it this way. Cosmically, we are close to the Sun, but it takes approximately 6 minutes for the Sun's light to reach us [sub](if I remember correctly)[/sub]. Let that sink in...

 

[Steve Dark]

Get my trusty old Baseball Bat and head to where it's going to impact. I'm either saving the world or going out in style.

 

[DustyDrB]

Play the Song of Time.

I'll have to put on my Deku Scrub mask and play along, then.

 

[thahat]

Swim to Australia.

Also, hope it lands on France. (Inside joke)

Actually, I'd like to second the hope that it lands on France inside joke or not. Who needs France?

i third this, lol. well, exept that i'd like it to land on china, since that is on the other side of the planet for me XD. might save my ass a bit XD

also: have the best possible time i can with my girlfriend, there isent much time you know XD.
if the world would end, i think id marry here. even though im not planning on marying within the next ten years XD
