I was told: "When you see an atomic blast drop down, and crawl to a nearest cemetery".

That's certainly the way we learned it, wiredog.

I thought you were suppose to climb under your desk and put your arms over your head. Isn't this the proper way to do it?

Climb in an old refrigerator. It worked for Indy.

I saw a mushroom cloud out my window last year. It took me a few seconds to realize my neighbor had lit his wood stove, and the cloud wasn't as far away or as large as it first appeared.
More shelter advice.

And never bring a knife to a nuclear exchange.

Or wrap yourself in duct tape and liberally anoint with WD-40. Protected by the silvery stuff and the fallout will slip right off.
Yeah Mikey, we cowered under elementary desks back then, too.

If you see a nuclear detonation and live to tell about it, just stand there and see what super powers you're going to get.
