I sleep.
Once, my power was out for thirty six hours straight.
Now that, ladies and gentlemen, was a nap.

You make this sound so very hypothetical... Y'all need to come live in the third world!
We have Eskom as our only supplier of electricity. They are USELESS! In Winter they don't have enough power for the whole country, but they send a lot of it away to other countries at cheaper rates! And they have blackouts often, especially if you are in an area they don't find important.
Also, our power pole gets hit a lot by drunks on Saturday nights. That leaves you powerless for up to two days. In fact, they once didn't repair the pole for FIVE DAYS when it SNOWED. My dad was alone in the house as the rest of us were on Holiday, so he suffered alone, during the coldest week of the year, with no power.
OP: Read everything you can, every book, label and set of cooking instructions within 50 metres.

I had an power our a couple of years ago (when my bro came over for Easter). Well I try to have some random conversation talks with my bro like old time when it happen. Needless to say it didn't work.
I suppose what I would do without my bro this time is just play some old games on my GBA (DS rely on the charger) and read I guess.

Running around the streets chanting football songs like idiots is always fun...
Also, start a campfire and play acoustic guitar.

1. if you get tired of it, you're obviously not doing it right.believer258 said:
2. i don't need porn, i have a girlfriend, and a good imagination.
3. wow someone likes batteries a bit too much....
since when does the power go out for 16 hours? where you live must suck.... but i don't see how batteries are a major advantage. they are really wasteful and most things nowadays have a long battery life, and even if the do die, you can always read a book, see your girlfriend, and i know this might sound scary, but you can always go out and socialize...believer258 said:
Run around in a blind panic trying to find the fuse or read a book, which ever seems more fun at the time
well in the area i live you either sit in the corner with tinned food and a weapon and wait for order to be restored,or you go out breaking and lighting fire
Once the handheld consoles have died I'll light up some candles and catch up on some reading. I have a Silver Surfer GN to finish up actually, and Pyramids by Pratchett.
