Last night I watched Deep Impact with Brent and Karla. I hadn’t heard of this movie since I was only 11 years old when it came out in theaters (1998). If you’ve never seen it, it’s about a huge comet that is on a course to destroy earth. In the movie they are able to project when it will hit and basically tell everyone they are going to die in 4 weeks. We started joking about what we would do if we were in that situation (eat tubs of ice cream, run with scissors, pee in the shower, etc.) but I started thinking, I don’t know if I would want to learn the date of my death. I mean, it’s just plain creepy.

If you could learn of your exact date of death and how it would happen, would you want to find out? Why or why not?
