pRoDiEuS Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 (edited) I have a Fun Hypothetical Situation for everyone and I hope lots of people participate. ( to the Mods if this is not allowed I apologize, please delete post. ) The situation is this The Earth is under a mandatory evacuation order. The evacuation will be conducted in waves. The next wave will consist of Geologists, Amature Geologists, Rock Hounds & Fossil Hunters. You will be leaving to go to Saturns moon Titan where you will live and now call home. You WILL NOT be returning to Earth! You get to bring Three tools related to Geology and your top 5 favorite Rocks, Gems, Fossils and or Minerals with you. What will you take with you to Titan? The Rules: 1. The specimens MUST have been found by you. They can not have been bought, given to you or traded for. 2. There is no size limit for specimens 3. Only 5 specimens total between all categories can be taken. 4. Only 3 tools or less are allowed to be brought with you. If possible Please post photos of your specimens and tools.

Bedrock Bob Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 I would refuse to go to Titan and continue mining earth. Anyone who tried to force me to leave would have to whip me good and then whip me again after I healed up. Then they would have to whip me some more. It would not be easy. Whomever was doing the whipping would need to wake up early and eat a hearty breakfast because it is going to take a while. If they put three or four big guys on the job and managed to get me on the rocket ship to Titan I would take these items - Five nice big jasper pieces as big as I could carry. A long handled Estwing geologist's pick. A shovel. A 24" section of drill steel. As soon as I was released on Titan I would strike as many sharp edged flakes as I could from the jasper and fill my pockets. I would use the shovel in my right hand as a defensive weapon and the geologist pick in my left. I would set out directly to slaughter every idiot involved in putting me on that worthless rock. Then I would turn my wrath upon the settlers. I would enslave the ones that would not fight and force them to support me. As soon as I enslaved a few people other strong settlers would join in my fight. They too would have hammers and shovels. We would wade through the masses on Titan slaughtering anyone who would not join us and enslaving anyone who could not or would not fight. We would take over the landing facilities on Titan and demand they take us back to Mother Earth where we belong. Once back on earth we would build high fences from the bones of our enemies. We would bury ourselves in dirt and howl at the moon like dogs. We would crack open the skulls of small birds and eat their brains with a lobster fork. But we would never be relocated to Titan. Never. The End. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would if you were one of the Rebels of Titan. Otherwise you would have never been brought back to earth. You would still be eating soylent green furnished by the government in some slave mining camp on Titan. Which by the way has been left in a smoking ruin after the Rebels pillaged it. So you can eat bird brains with the warriors or slurp a soy shake with the slaves. Those are your only menu choices in this Brave New World.

Diggingd Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 I don't think we have enough rockets on earth to move it, you did say no size limit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Au Seeker Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Bob I'm usually very hungry after a revolt, can I eat large bird brains instead of the tiny ones, it would be a lot less work and I know I will be tried from all the revolting and enslaving the peons?? Edit: I forgot to ask, what would you be doing with the 24" of drill steel?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: I forgot to ask, what would you be doing with the 24" of drill steel?? Big birds, small birds, it is all good. Size does not matter unless it does. No doubt Ghengis Kahn style killing can really burn up a lot of calories. Get it how you want it Skip. Go ahead! Order the ostrich! I figure I could tuck the drill steel in my belt and use it in case I dropped the hammer. I had three items and only two hands. I only had one paragraph and three sentences. So the drill steel was an aspect of the story that went unexplored. Thanks for asking!

Uncle Ron Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Bob, I "explored" many drill steels and 90 lb. hammers years ago working as a powder monkey...It's not all the fun it's cracked up to be, believe me...especially when you get a 10' steel stuck! ... You just have to start over again, load the new hole then blow both the rock and the stuck steel out ... And it's hard work drilling and rebelling at the same time! ... Cheers, Unc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonoran Dave Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Tofu tacos? That's nasty no matter what celestial body you're occupying. I was wondering about the drill steel too, but figured it was coming back in another chapter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
