If a nuclear missle hit outside your house RIGHT now, you'd get an instant suntan.

DAMN! If a nuclear bomb exploded ouside my house I would be able to run away, but 0.01 milliseconds too slow!!!!
My current best time is 0.91
MEH!!

How necessary was it to say that? You're just repeating what I said, aren't you.

Perhaps, but you would also be really, really dead. Plus I have double glazing!
FM's Education Burst Coming Up...Stay Tuned...You Might Learn Something...
Effects of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima in 1945
Initial Explosive Conditions
Maximum temperature at burst point: several million degrees centigrade. A fireball of 15-meters radius formed in 0.1 millisecond, with a temperature of 300,000 degrees centigrade, and expanded to its huge maximum size in one second. The top of the atomic cloud reached an altitude of 17,000 meters.
Black Rain
Radioactive debris was deposited by "black rain" that fell heavily for over an hour over a wide area.
Demaging Effects of the Atomic Bomb
Thermal Heat: Intense thermal heat emitted by the fireball caused severe burns and loss of eyesight. Thermal burns of bare skin occurred as far as 3.5 kilometers from ground zero (directly below the burst point). Most people exposed to thermal rays within 1-kilometer radius of ground zero died. Tile and glass melted; all combustible materials were consumed.
Blast: An atomic explosion causes an enormous shock wave followed instanteneously by a rapid expansion of air called the blast; these represent roughtly half the explosion's released energy. Maximum wind pressure of the blast: 35 tons per square meter. Maximum wind velocity: 440 meters per second. Wooden houses within 2.3 kilometers of ground zero collapsed. Concrete buildings near ground zero (thus hit by the blast from above) had ceilings crushed and windows and doors blown off. Many people were trapped under fallen strunctures and burned to death.
Radiation: People exposure within 500 meters of ground zero was fatal. People exposed at distances of 3 to 5 kilometers later showed symptoms of aftereffects, including radiation-induced cancers.

So I figure if you're close enough to the bomb when it hits the curb and can run 5001 metres in 0.09 milliseconds, you've got a chance.

Not if you were superman.
You'd be dead as soon as it hit.

What a far-fetched dream

I really would be bothered about getting a 'groovey' tan!
health? eh?
