    Speaking with the Daily Mail, hi-tech recreational bomb shelter designer Ron Hubbard said: "I'll spend three days underground in the shelter just to be safe…I've sold shelters to astrophysicists who believe there is a possibility that we could be hit with a strong solar flare or large amounts of radiation."

    Describing the sales hike, Mr Hubbard added: "We get a lot of people who buy the shelters as a form of insurance for the worst case scenario…We have gone from selling one a month to one a day in the past year since Obama's re-election."

    Wouldn't it be fun to start a-banging and a-hollering on the doors on the 21st?* I wonder how long they could be fooled into staying put.

    *unless we really DO need to of course.
