What's On Your Pre-Apocalypse To-Do List?

If you haven’t heard, the world is coming to an end in 2012. There's a movie about it and everything. You see, the Mayans created a calendar centuries ago, and that calendar comes to an end on December 20, 2012!!! But don't take our word for it: Some dude from the sixties came up with a crazy theory that explains it all! Of course, the Mayans never really intended to suggest that the world is going to end. They were simply marking the end of an era (or baktun, as they called it), and they fully expected another era to begin after that. And the beginning of this new era would have been the cause of celebration, not despair. But hey, that doesn't make a very good disaster movie, now does it?

So let's work on the assumption that Hollywood would never lie to us and that 2012 predicts the future. We've prepared a Things-To-Do-Before-the-World-Comes-to-a-Sudden-and-Disastrous-End Checklist. Here goes:

• Visit the first five world monuments that come to mind. If you don't have any money, you might be visiting a lot of "world's largest" frying pans and balls of rubber bands.
• Watch the Star Wars Trilogy (the good one), the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, and the Indiana Jones Trilogy in one magnificent sitting.
• Try caviar, pâté, escargot, and other weird rich people foods.
• Litter shamelessly—if the whole world is doomed in two years, why worry about the environment?
• Spend some time in the zoo—why not go out hugging a zebra or riding an elephant?
• Plant a tree. At least you can say you did it.
• Get some friends together and play bumper cars, only use actual cars. (Save this one for the last day, when you're sure you won’t be driving anywhere before the apocalypse.)
• Dress how you really want to, even if that means wearing wizarding robes or Indiana Jones hats. And especially if that means covering your clothes with sequins.
• Swing through a jungle on a vine.
• For no reason at all, give a complete stranger a flower.
• For no reason at all, give a complete stranger a kick in the shins.
• Pitch in by taking a sign to some random street corner and letting everyone else know the end is near.
• Have your friends over for a nice dinner and let them know how much they mean to you.
• Have your enemies over for a nice dinner and let them know how much you urinated in the soup.
• Read Ulysses. Or at least read the SparkNote.
• Rickroll your high school prom.

So, where would you go and what would you do if you knew the world was coming to an end in 2012?
