Watching Independence Day (again)

UFOs appear over a major city? Get out as fast as you can

Asteroids coming?
Get out and get to high ground (although you'll probably die anyway)

Under attack by planes?
Don't hide under any vehicle as they are likely to blow up

Under attack by dinosaurs?
Stay still, They can't see you if you don't move. And don't wave lights about

If something goes bump in the night and you are wearing a flimsy see through white night gown, stay in bed. Do not under any circumstances go and investigate.

Always check the back seat of your car before you get in

NEVER follow a strange man selling bracelets back to his car

If you accidentally set off a time bomb, dont move, just get your friend to snip a random wire at the last second.

If people don't get your thing, build an isolated ice palace and swan around in sequins being the real you.

If a shark bites your leg and you cant get to hospital, you'd probably better get your buds to amputate it straight away or it might get infected and kill you.

Do not be black, or you will be about 80% more likely either die first, be the (token) best friend or be a criminal.

Always carry some bits of string with you, almost anything can be repaired with a bit of string.

Always travel First Class on ships, First Class passengers have a much better chance of survival.

Don’t forget: you don’t have to be able to run faster than your pursuers, just faster than your companions. Brilliant!

Executive Decision - what flaps and speed to use to land a jet.

I may have missed the point originallyBlush.
OK, as well as not being black, you have to be pretty and sensible and not sexy /slutty/sassy.

If the Chinese army try to recruit your disabled dad- steal his armour and go in his place, dont forget to cut your hair and learn to spit. Take the family dragon for luck and you will save all China.
