So, let's have a little fun here on Zero Hedge, and use this as a test of your TEOTWAWKI preparedness. Our test scenario is that, like in Lucifer's Hammer, BL86 breaks up into several large meteorites between 100 and 800 meters, and many smaller. Let us say that three of the large ones hit in the ocean closest to you, causing both blast waves and subsequent massive tsunamis up to 100 feet high in all directions, and the other two hit a land mass in your hemisphere, causing massive atmospheric debris, torrential rains, no sun, and global crop failures for one year. Let's start by having everyone answer five questions: 1) Do you really want to live? Then, if you do want to live, and setting aside the fact that luck or fate play a big role in one's individual chance for survival: 2) Are you willing to commit murder and/or steal (the same as murder in many survival situations) in order to survive? 3) Are you going to stay put, or go somewhere? 4) How do you rate your chances of surviving 24 months? 5) What is the number one thing you could do in the next three weeks to dramatically increase your odds of surviving 24 months?

And yeah, if you haven't read "Lucifer's Hammer," you missed a good one and ought to rectify that.

UPDATE: I was told by a reader the link locked up his machine-- I have not had any problems with it and a scan of the url detects no malware, but just to be safe I thought I'd better post this warning.
