If it WAS the end of the world...could you survive?

Are you saying men can't get it up for MP without drugs?

No, that would be untrue and unpolite, I'm saying most of this board, judging by the amount of general flouncing, haven't got a idea of what a hard on is!

[OwlHoot]

It's a yes for me, although with a lower percentage than I expected; what's wrong with hiding in a cave in a lightening storm? ...

If this test is geographically geared for Septics, and you (or they) are in the wilderness, I imagine bears and mountain lions also like to hide in caves during a storm.

Also, if the cave is more like a pothole, with a narrow entrance and a stream running in, you could easily be trapped and drowned if the trickle became a flood during the rain.

All good points. I was thinking a nice Devonian one without all of those nasties.

A quick search turns up another reason here :

7. Don’t hide in small caves or under overhangs.

Sitting under an overhang or in a small cave is asking for trouble since lightning will jump the gap from top to bottom by passing through you. I had a friend killed by lightning on Pikes Peak when he sat under a boulder overhang above timberline to wait out a storm.

Ah, you've done it on a bridge too; another thing we have in common!

No Mitch, you did it under a bridge, like the hideous troll that you are

And me - although it wasn't the mushrooms that got me, it was trying to get warm by rubbing my arms as opposed to lighting the fire who knew eh?
