Thanks PF Your reply reminded me of how in the coming days we were told that if we heard a siren we were supposed to take cover.......under our desks at school, under our beds at home and just lay on the curb quietly if outside. LOL What advice to give. Just sit there and wait to be vaporized pretending your desk shall save you! It reminds me of the thread about the tinfoil helmuts to ward off aliens.......

BTW.......I am so glad I was too young to realize the true implications of what was happening or I am sure to have intestinal distress too. I just wandered around waiting for the sirens to start......

OMG I just remembered we had a drill in school....the fire alarm went off and we had to go under our desks! Seems so ridiculous now, but I guess that is a prime example of people grasping at straws........in the event of disaster. Something like plastic and duct tape.........
