I'd run to the centre of the explosion, with hopes of getting exposed to enough gamma rays to be transformed into a powerful mutant.
Alternatively, I would:
Hug my mother and father. I love you, goodbye.
Hug my girlfriend: see, I told you we should have had sex. Now it's too late.
If it was happening only on America:
I'd glue myself to the TV screen, unbelieving, in shock, anger, fear and desire of revenge (similar to what happened in the Sept/11, multiplied by a tenfold) and then quickly migrate to my grandparents house in the interior. Just to play it safe. Lisbon is a minor target, but I'm sure our name is in a warhead, somewhere.

Let me elaborate.
I'll throw on a black cape and sunglasses, take four minutes to drive to where the nuke is going to hit, and then, calmly, whip out a pistol and proceed to drill the nuke right between it's 'eyes', knock out it's detonation system, and watch it crash at my feet.
Of course, while this is going on, other planes are raining conventional destruction down on the city, so I hijack one of the destroyers docked in the bay, hitch a ride on a navy jet, fly out of the smoke and fire of the city, then proceed to kick ass at 15,000 feet to the tune of Blur's 'Woo-hoo!'

Oh, yes, and while it's technically a 15 minute drive, there are indeed destroyers docked in the bay.

All of which are in Charles F Adams class ships in category B reserve and dating to the 60's, there stripped of much of there electronics and lacking fuel and ammunition. The only surface warfare ships in the Philadelphia naval base which even approach being operational are the short hulled FFG7's and you'd still need a couple months to get them ready.Cyril wrote:Oh, yes, and while it's technically a 15 minute drive, there are indeed destroyers docked in the bay.

I'm right outside of San Francisco, so I'll probably be caught in the blast radius. So I'll go outside to my backyard, which faces away from San Francisco, and finish my crap there. This is a weird topic choice, man.

I live in Brisbane, Australia, and I doubt that anybody would waste a nuke on this place. So I'd finish my dump, go to the TV and tune into CNN just in time to watch the picture disolve into static. Of course, then we'll get hit with that whole "On The Beach" scenario. Stupid slow death from radiation. Shit...

Are we asuming that no matter where we are in the world, that nukes are going to hit within range to kill us?

Let's see.
Air Force Base -- check
Various Missile Silos, decomissioned maybe not -- check
Plant where a butt-load of Tomahawks are manufactured -- check
Local AOL offices -- check
I'm definately toast so I'll probably be seeing the sights while still hopeing for superpowers to develope, or maybe even mutation into a giant freakin' dinosaur with a fin on it's back.
As for the crap question, I don't think it would take that long to finish upon finding out that nukes are on the way. In fact I think it would be the quickest crap ever, possible involving brief airborn status as the force of the expelled crap lifts me off of the toilet seat.

Dude, I live in Poland. There's no freakin' way anybody's wasting even a single low-yield tactical nuke on Poland. I mean...come on...it's Poland for kate's sake
Needless to say, I'd finish my crap and then start looking for an army that'll be planning to get their hands on whoever launched those nukes, and volunteer. I guess they'd need some cannon fodder after the Big One.

Oh dude you're from poland, i guess poland had it's piece of war with the germans in ww2, no body will wanna shoot a wounded war-hero, unless you keep those yankee's and redies(russians) with their missiles and sub stations out of you're backyard,
cheers Poland.

Naturaly, we are heading to self or natural destruction inside the scale of cosmos space & time journey, so we do our best to discover as much as possible of space-matter and conquer it.

I'm in Hobart, Tasmania.
Unless there is an American carrier in town (we get 2 or 3 a year) then there is really nothing that anyone could be bothered nuking down here.
Oh, except for our CSIRO which accidently engineered a REALLY powerful chemical weapon. Ooops. Apparently they were attempting to make a herbicide.
Anyhow, I finish the crap. Then watch TV and go: "Finally." I then loot the bottleshop across the road from my house. Then the barracks and armoury a block away. And have an "End of the World" party.
