"Amusing little experiment"

Just for morbid fun, nothing else.
The scene is this:
You are in front of your computer emailing a mate. The 3 minute warning goes off and you have 3 minutes - 180 seconds - to write your message.
Time yourself, and dont cheat because otherwise it's pointless.
Strictly limit yourself to 3 minutes exactly, when that 3 minutes is up, stop writing even if it's mid sentence.
You were writing to your mate to express your fears at the escalating conflict around the world.

3 minutes exactly.
Go

Your obvious wisdom is astounding.

It's all very well saying "I would write this", but in reality, if the situation arise, you would almost all write something completely different.

Yeah it'd be great fun eating radioactive food, whilst fighting giant cockraoches and mutant rats. Actually that might be quite entertaining. A bit like eating a Big Mac on a tube train at rush hour.

Remember that, in life, you were my friend.

Nothing else is important.

Remember that when I needed you, you were there, even now when I think of you, I smile.

No regrets, life's too short.

The rule is you *will* die, that's the point.
No mobiles, no safe havens, no special underground bunkers.

I just wanted to see what people would write.

Forget writing anything, I'd use the 3 minutes to find the safest place possible because if it's not a direct hit - and this town has stuff all of value - there is a damn good chance of survival.

Yes, that's where I know it from. It's a recording used at the start of the song, but where did they get it from originally? Or is it theirs?

Screw the e-mail, I've got a mobile phone which I wont have to pay the bill on in 3 minutes time, the people who mean the most to me will get a phonce call thanking them for making my life better just by being there for my at my lowest points.

When I know nothing will ever be the same again, I want people to know just how much I appreciate them, nothing does that better than the personal touch!!!

Dear friend

Seems the world is ending and i am spoending last moments sending you this. I guess nothing seems important now, all the stupid worries and concerns, money, hair and weather. Least everyone will die together, wipe the scum off this planet.

You were a great friend and im going to miss you and the rest of my friends and family. Its just a shame but also quite exciting... what holds next for us... worm food or some great afterlife? So many things I should have done but neveer did and now its all going away in a second or tw

Crap...

Oh, I've got time to spare...
