    If your house was on fire, and you could only save one of the following things, which would it be, assuming everything listed above is in your house.

    Just for clarification, everything on the list that you don't pick is destroyed / killed, including your self if you don't pick your self.

    You can vote here: http://www.micropoll.com/akira/mpview/552076-145484

    Choices are:

    A: Your Family (This discludes pets, just for clarification)

    B: All of your Pets

    C: Your Self

    D: Your Best Friend

    E: Your Most Prized Possession

    This is still dumb because knowing everyone on this site, they'd choose themselves.

    Firstly, in order too save someone else or something else, you obviously have to save yourself.

    Anyway, Family =].

    In time of a fire, my prized possesion would include some sort of extinguisher, and a phone to call 911.

    Now, because I've freed this up, I can now save my family, my best friend, other friends, myself, and other possesions.

    Unless this is some sort of supernatural fire, in which case I would just enlist my own magical pools. ...

    Actually I'd be wondering why everyone else in the house was retarded/passed out that they couldn't help out. Why are they so incapacitated? Maybe they deserve to burn.

    How do I save others without saving myself?

    There's too many holes here.

    i would save myself simply to save my family from the sadness of losing me.

    but yeah its a stupid poll.

    in real life these choices would not be available.

    Leave anything that is incapable of speech (unless due to a mental disability, mind you), save the rest in whichever order is readily available. If it turns out that I had to save my whole family, and could get to them, I would save them at the cost of my own life. What's one life against however many family members are living here? (does it count as four or five if your brother will come back, but currently is learning to shoot machine guns and throw grenades?)

    'Course, I have a hunch I might take a bullet for a stranger if the situation called for it... Call me weird, but it's just part of who I am.

    So yeah. My family.

    And Sock's logic does win. But in my house, you can pretty much be guaranteed that we let the smoke alarms die. I don't check them until I get too annoyed with their incessant "I'm DYING!" chirping. In which case, I'm more likely to remove the battery than replace it -_-. I think my mom replaces them occasionally... Maybe... She's yanked the batteries out too... but someone has to replace them for them to die again.

    If the situation did arise exactly as the poll suggest, my best friend.
