If The Earth Was Destroyed, You Have To Leave, What Would You Take?

The earth is being destroyed, you have to leave to another planet. What one thing would you have to take with you? Now the obvious thought would of course be my children, husband and dog. But those are obvious, and you need to pick something you just couldnt live without. What would it be?



Yep as you can see, that is a roll of toilet paper. That would be the one thing I could not live without. You know, you will have to go no matter what. Your body will still produce waste products, and the thought of being unclean in the southern area of my body, is really unbearable. Matter of fact, it could border on torture.

Operation Immortality: Leave your mark. Save Humanity.

So why am I talking about toilet paper, and the earth being destroyed, anyway. Because there is a cool free game, available to play for all you sci fi, army types, who want to save the world. http://www.operationimmortality.com/ is where you can find this cool game. It is called Tabula Rasa, and there are only 11 days left to play this very cool game. You get to choose which human achievements you think are the best, choose why you think your DNA should be preserved for the next generation of humans, and leave a message for all the earthlings you wish to save.

I looked at this game, it is pretty cool. You need to have Adobe Flash Player, to open and play it. Once you have that, you are all set. I might even give it a try myself, after I think of some pretty creative answers to enter. If you love sci fi, army type games, then you should go to http://www.operationimmortality.com/ and enter the game for yourself. Spread the word, and have your friends enter, see who has the better answers. So what one thing could you not live without?
