Thanks to the advanced technology being used by the IDF, people living within range of Hamas missiles can now stop worrying about being surprised by a rocket attack. They will now get a 30-second warning before a rocket drops. 30 seconds might not sound like much but with effective time management, you can get quite a lot done. Here's a list of things you can do in half a minute or as we like to call it "Gone in 30 Seconds."

•Get an MA degree from the University of Tijuana.•Sing Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. At least half of it.•Play hide and seek with an ADHD kid.•Send an error report to Microsoft.•Take a "30 seconds result" pregnancy test. Even if you are a man, actually, especially if you are a man, maybe the rocket won't be the most significant event of your day.•Cook "Minute Rice." (Warning: it will only be half cooked)•Watch the all-time highlights of Israel's national soccer team. Twice.•Quit smoking. Twice.•Hug the fattest guy around. Sharing is caring - especially if it's rocket shrapnel.•Go to the window and shout, "I'm sorry I didn't spend more time at the office". It's always nice to refute a cliché before you die. •Watch 1/120 of CBS's "60 minutes."•Swim 7 laps in an Olympic pool (only if you are Michael Phelps)•Change your profile picture on Facebook and then change it back.•Write a nasty comment about someone's piece on the Huffington Post without really reading the article.•Watch the most watched clip on "YouTube." (Only if you want to spend your last moments watching an angry squirrel turn his head) •Learn all the names of the moderate non-violent ministers in the Hamas government by heart - and you'll still have 29 seconds left.•Get in a big black plastic bag. It won't save your life but it'll make the work of the evacuation team much easier. It's to die considerate.
