Well crap, I guess there's no point in my bothering to finally clean up the basment.

Actually there is. With a few minor modifications a basement makes a good fallout shelter. With some more modifications you could include a "hideout" from biological or chemical attacks.

""Actually there is. With a few minor modifications a basement makes a good fallout shelter. With some more modifications you could include a "hideout" from biological or chemical attacks.""

Yeah, but then I'll be like those folks in the Twilight Zone episode, "The Shelter." You know, the one where all their neighbors pounded their way into the fallout shelter, thus rendering it useless. Or worse, I'll emerge from my shelter and find a world filled with murderous mutants, like Chuck Heston in "The Omega Man."

Far easier to keep the basement messy.
