    As long as I get my exam/essay results back before the rapture, then I'm happy. Anyway, i feel i have seen enough apocalypse films now that I'd know what to do.

    ...and then there are all the costumed superheroes.
    One of them will surely be able to save us.

    Nuclear Holocaust should bring in a big market in radiation sickness pills. That or vodka, I hear vodka is good for reducing the unhealthy glow!

    Standard pill for any nuclear incident is potassium iodate to prevent uptake of radioactive iodine. Readily available from internet or from chemists near a nuclear power station.
    Big demand recently on US west coast due to Fukishima.

    I used to work in Ipswich which is nearish to the Sizewell nuclear reactor, don't recall seeing any potassium iodate on the shelves though....not near enough obviously!

    A few years ago when somebody decided there was a danger of an accident at Sellafield all Irish homes were issued with Iodine tablets, which are now long out of date but we have been told to hold on to anyway, presumably on the basis that out of date Iodine tabs are better than none at all.

    Incredibly they were delivered via the post so if anybody ever asks me about them I refer all queries to our postman, who is not amused.
