I asked this of a friend while hiking the other day in jest, but who knows? I joked that I probably wouldn't have a lot of time, and given I would probably be in shock... the best I could get out might be, "Well, fuck."

How about you?

If you can see the cloud, you're outside the vaporization zone. And the only thing you'll accomplish is walking deeper into the radioactive zone. Kind of sounds like you're taking what appears to be 70 plus percent survival chances and turning them into 0% survival chances.

    I down to see the mutants, the zombies, the hot rod racing war bands, the increasingly intelligent apes. But if it just ends up being cancer and eating rats… meh, I’ll bail.
