Astronomers have spotted a huge comet recently kicked out of it's Ort cloud orbit, that is predicted with 99% accuracy to collide with Earth on Feb. 19th, 2009. All life on Earth will be destroyed.
RELAX folks, I just made that up. But the question is, what would you do, if it were true, with your remaining 494 days?

Come on MtW, didn't you catch the hypothetical part? I didn't get into the time and distance calculations, the question is about peoples responses to impending disaster.

"In the Days of the Comet," by H.G.Wells, this scenario is played out by the most angst ridden character I have ever read. He was creepy, and his philosophical questions were of a self-pitying nature. I would not pity myself, but revel in the time I had left, then put my head between my knees and wait.

I'd try to find out what everyone was so afraid of before the comet. . .

Unrealistic. It would take the comet over a decade to make it to Earth from there.
