What would you do if the Earth was to be destroyed in one hour by a meteorite? Apparently 54% of Britons would spend the time with (or on the phone to) loved ones, 13% would grab a glass of champagne, 9% would have sex, and 3% would pray. Two percent would start looting (why?).
Assuming I was around those I care about, I’d have a good IPA or two, put some Mozart on and, sitting in a lawn chair, watch the big old rock hit the planet. Why not?

Definitely looting. (My partner and I, were just chuckling over that one, especially as it was only one percent less than praying)
Probably do nothing all that different, except maybe get the kids out to see it, if it was in our part of the sky. Definitely not panicking, not the way I would want the kids to spend their last bit of time left.
I wonder if an hour is enough time to score some of those hard drugs I've never tried?
I'd guess the looters would be looting off-licences and pubs for something stronger than champagne.
Being with family would top my list, but for indulgent things I'd also like to do...I would EAT! Pizza, donuts, ice cream, tons of delicious calories with no consequences since the world would end before it was even digested.
An one hour left and 9% would have sex?
OK, but what would they do for the other 59 minutes?
First I would send a quick email to my Mom and Dad and thank them again.
Then I would run up stairs and put on my grand mother's pearls that I never get around to wearing. Then I would find my husband and doggies and go out on the back deck. Open that $300 dollar of champagne that I have been saving and some good cheese. I would hold hands with my hubby and hope that my smidgen of imagination about the transfer of matter to energy carrying some of my consciousness with it were true.
I think my husband would try to make me laugh and would probably be successful as he usually is.
