Duck and cover kind of works.  What's your plan for a nuclear attack?  Stand near a window?

I can remember doing duck and cover once.  I was in 2nd grade, in 1970.

How does it differ from an earthquake drill?

I've never done an earthquake drill. 

Duck and cover we all crawled under our desks and covered our heads with our arms.

... and I do recall during my last year of primary school ('86) that at school we weren't allowed to stay out during rain or play in the sand following Chernobyl.

nothing of the sort here (other than saying not to eat your homegrown veggies that year). Massive government misinformation and outright lieing about it. Today the joke is that the radioactive dust and what-not magically travelled around belgium. Classic.

This sounds very much like what was uttered in France at the time with some scientist claiming the cloud stopped at the French borders.  :hmm:

We did earthquake drills in CA in the early 70s.  By then people realized that hiding under a desk would only save us from falling masonry, not from a nukuleer blast.
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

Same thing then.

When your body is shredded by flying glass, your eyes blinded by the flash, and your skull is crushed by falling masonry, I'll laugh and laugh and laugh.  From beneath my desk.

He's much more likely to survive a nuclear attack than you are, due to living in the middle of nowhere.
