It's the end of the world. We see it coming. World governments are gathering up people to repopulate the species. There are a limited number of persons that can be saved. They find you and ask "What can you contribute?" |

The Mayan calendar was first used at least 2500 years ago. It has a round of 52 years (in other words, a particular date repeats every 52 years).
See what I'm getting at? |

The most immediate thing that comes to my mind is this: "I'm type O negative blood (universal donor type.) I'm 6 feet tall with a sturdy mesomorphic body type. I'm not genetically predisposed to any disease, disorder, or mental or health condition. Pair me with a female of similar physical constitution and blood type, and we will populate like rabbits." |

Any coincidence between this thread and the fact that 2012 was on OCN (or some other movie channel) earlier this evening? |

What are my qualifications?
The cynic: I will help you get rich.
The scientist: I have low rates of disease, blah blah blah, what weso1 said.
The "I'm useful": I can fish, work metals, farm, construct electronics, bricklay, etc. etc.
The "lowdown": "So I'm sure everyone else has been telling you blah blah, Engineering degree or 20/20 vision, whatever...But ME, I can brew beer from scratch and make good tasting food out of crap."
The idealist: I have watched every episode of Star Trek and am an avid fan of Carl Sagan and Stephen Hawking and am fully prepared to contribute to a new era.
The manipulator: "Excuse me, who are you? What's you name? How dare you ask me such a question! I'm already on the list. I had this arranged months ago. Rest assured you will be on surface-level guard duty while I inform your superior of your failings during our bunker briefings. Get your records straight. Fill out another form just to make sure, name's 'Steelrails...S...t...can you spell?' Now stand aside or you won't even get to stand guard duty"
The actions are louder than words: Hit em over the head and assume their identity. |

No coincidence at all.

I've got a four-year degree from an English-speaking country and no criminal record. I have a small face and look like Tom Cruise. I can use metal chopsticks. I have over thirty Facebook friends. I've already sired a couple kids, so the equipment is up to snuff, and I'm willing to sire more if humanity deems it necessary. |
