27: If you tell your Dad you're at "the public library" in NYC, he will know which location even though there are dozens in Manhattan.
28: The producer who does the commentary with the Director is a super-patronizing DOUCHE. (seriously, he is, he's like a caricature of an beep producer, I just had to include that)
29: When the temperature is falling 10 degrees every SECOND, it is OK to go outside without covering your face and hands.
30: The first book ever printed is kept at the NY Public Library's 42nd Street Schwarzman Building (and naturally this book must be protected from being burned, because there are so few other books available for burning in that building)
31: The only possible place to find penicillin is in a Russian tanker which happens to be outside, as there are no drugstores in Midtown.
32: Reading a medical book is as good as having a medical degree, and enables someone to make instant diagnoses and give prognoses.
33: The New York Public Library still uses card catalogs(!) -

- People can walk from one major city to another in a day or two, on top of snow, and not be worn out when they arrive.
- If you're about to die because the glass supporting you is about to break and let you fall to your death, it's best to just cut the rope and kill yourself before you actually fall and die seconds later. Make sure you cut the rope with emphasis, too.
- Talk on the phone in freezing water as long as you can without explaining your dilemma to the listener on the other end. It's no big deal that the water level is rising and will soon engulf you. No, no urgency at all.
- There's no way you actually can live off M&M's and potato chips for the length of the expected storm (7-10 days).
When we're thinking about our own brain, would that be a mental paradox??

Great post
42. You only need a tent to survive quick frost caused by -10C drop every second, even though it smashes the windows of skyscrapers including the Empire State building.
43. Multiple hundreds of humans are capable of surviving a storm in subzero temperatures inside skyscrapers with broken windows. -

- Mexico is safe from climate change disasters.
- The royal family tried to escape a climate disaster that covered the whole northern hemisphere using the range of a helicopter flight.
- Drilling for ice samples can cause a section of ice the size of a state to break off.
- Waves flooding through a city will slow down when there is a dramatic scene of someone trying to untangle themselves from a car.
- Massive breakthroughs on climate change will occur days before massive climate shifts.
- Mexico needs a massive bribe before it will let any refugees from a huge disaster come to their country for safety.

- You can take your coat off in a tent at minus 50, but you must wear it inside a library sitting next to a fire place.
- There's about enough time to walk in the water towards a tsunami getting someone's handbag with said person's passport back who happens to have left it behind im a cab. Even with an injured leg.
- The snowy scenes always have a blue overtone.
- The vice-president is - as always - very sceptical about the professor's theories at first.

- If an astronaut in space, you calmly watch the world you came from undergo biblical environmental changes and take the occasional picture and purse your brow, never once wondering how you're going to get back down or how NASA will resupply you.
- Not one extraterrestrial took credit for destroying the world.
- Good-looking people will survive the weather apocalypse. Steve Buscemi is doomed.
- The Statue of Liberty can survive a 280 ft tsunami, but will be blown to pieces by an alien fire storm.
- Even faced with the end of the world, good-looking teen nerds won't have sex.
