In light of the Feb. 15 meteor strike in Chelyabinsk, Russia, we at The Highlander decided to compile a list of what to do next time a meteor is falling to Earth.
1. Tweet it. After all, what better use of your remaining seconds then telling the world all about it? #YOLO #endoftheworld #
2. Buy an iPhone 5, because who doesn’t love a good video of space rocks falling to earth? Plus think of all the YouTube views a video of a meteor will get.
3. Buy a nice Stratus Canvas Lounge Chaise (retail $3,309.38). Since the world is coming to an end, one might as well die watching the meteor from a comfortable lawn chaise. Make sure to select one day shipping!!
4. Prepare for the resulting alien invasion by calling Agent K and Agent J. Once the aliens see Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith dressed in black suits, they’re going to teleport their butts back home to HD 85512 b (and yes, that’s an actual planet).
5. Get bitten by a radioactive spider, because in post-apocalyptic scenarios there are lots of job openings for a superhero. No more low-paying summer jobs for you!
6. Spend time with family…not! Host a party, a huge last day on Earth goodbye party. We’re talking caters, a guest list, and most importantly iPhone 5’s to tweet with, Stratus Canvas Lounge Chaises to watch the world end on, all three Men in Black movies to scare the aliens with, and last but not least, some radioactive spiders to get superpowers from so you can earn twice as much money as you did last year working at the snack bar of your local pool.
While events like what happened in Chelyabinsk are rare, you’re probably going to want to print this out and carry it around wherever you go, because one can never be too prepared.
