  The obvious answer is that the market expects a lot of 1930's style soup kitchens to be opening again soon.
  
  You're all doing very well !!
  (er.....well except for the financial system of course...)

  You don't have to keep it in a fridge, you can ignore the 'best by' date and you can eat it cold. So when the lights go out all over the planet, you can still eat - and save the can. When the day dawns when nobody has a pot to p**s in, you will have the next best thing.

  Why would a media radio journalist, especially one from a foreign country, having being given an interview with an American Republican House member who voted against the bailout legislation just yesterday keep interrupting him, challenging him, and trying to debate him? But that is exactly what I heard this morning on BBC Mr. Lustig. Why didn't you give him a chance to tell his story? Why do interviewees have to fight BBC interviewers to say what they think and what is on their minds? Why do BBC interviewers try to run interference between the source of news and the listener almost every chance they get?

  Hmm, maybe I should invest in Ramen noodles, they're cheaper!

  I have been stockpiling my Bunker with cans of Campbell's Soup.
  
  As this financial crisis becomes more and more protracted and the outcome may last decades, can you advise if Ramen Noodles will last as long as Campbell's Soups?

  Menedenus,
  
  While I cannot say if they match, exceed, or fall short of the shelf life of the soup, I can say there is one drawback, one has to add water to the noodles and cook them, they are not ready to eat. Perhaps I should conduct a trial. Take 12 of each item, and once a month for the next year eat from this grouping on the "same" day, and then decide, which seems to hold better.
  
  I'm jealous. I do not have a bunker to stockpile. When the time comes for every man for himself ... I envision a hurried plunder of Wal-Mart for various goods to allow my survival ... in-the-wild. Maybe some folders for many pages of printed topics off the Internet, to ensure I have knowledge to reference on matters of which I am not certain. Oh, and seeds, one cannot forget seeds. Hopefully, this time wont come till I arrive in the mountains of Colorado by choice and not circumstance.
  
  Here's to the end of the world, cheers.

  Well I am just going to retreat to a wine cellar and drink myself stupid. It is better than even money that I will be finished off before the wine is.

  Threnodio,
  
  Giggle ... I envy your scenario. Perhaps if I am allowed to the Rockies by choice, I can allot for a wine cellar, and get rid of this wine cooler. I couldn't imagine drinking myself into a stupor inside of it ... unless I was John McCain and the V.C. had packed me into it.
  
  Hmm, I might have to re-think Colorado ... isn't N.O.R.A.D. there some place? I am going to have to get on Google and plot locations of military installations and make sure that they are at an acceptable distance. Drat, this entire business of world war needs to be re-thought, too many things to consider. This would be much easier if Hale bop would swing by and not forget to pick me up next time.
