Would you rather fight...
Imagine you are in a horrible car crash. You awake to an angel staring at you. He smiles and says, "Congratulations. You've lived a noble life and soon you will go to heaven. But first, you have to either fight one gorilla or three chimpanzees. You are armed with either a spear or a rusty machete. If you don't win you go to hell forever. I might actually go with the gorilla. It would surely be big, and I would have to land a death blow, but I think the chimpanzees would be much more aggressive. Even if I managed to kill one the other two would destroy me before I got the chance to react. And from what I hear chimpanzees are incredibly strong. How about you?

Re: Would you rather fight...
I dunno if it matters, both will most likely kill you. Almost certainly actually.

Re: Would you rather fight...
I think the gorilla would allow you to have the first strike. But if you don't spear it in the neck or eye ball right then and there, ape rage would guarantee your doom.

Re: Would you rather fight...
Hmm, maybe we need to have an automatic handgun hidden in the arena. The only risk would be that one of the chimps finds it. But maybe that's a better way to die than getting your face eaten.

What posessed you to come up with this scenario??? You high?? I'd say that since a primate has the strength 10X that of Man, having 3 of them after you would be harder than say 1 gorilla I suppose.. You'd have to contend with 1 chimp corning you while the other 2 circled you which would be hard to defend unless you had a gun..

Re: Would you rather fight...
At least you have a chance against 1 gorilla by poking his eyes out or something. Three chimps will just tear all your limbs off.

Gorilla. Always take the odds. 1-1 is better than 3-1

Re: Would you rather fight...
Ehh, an enraged silverback gorilla would kill you within seconds. Unless you are a master with the spear, you've got just as much of a chance as against the chips. ZERO.

Re: Would you rather fight...
Gorillas are typically more passive creatures than Chimpanzees. This is a really easy answer; I'd much rather fight a gorilla and stand a chance.

Re: Would you rather fight...
At least with a gorilla you might have a chance at intimidation or feigning death and maybe getting the drop on the sucker. Fighting 3 chimps is always going To be a loss unless you have a really good gun.

Re: Would you rather fight...
Round One: People chose to fight the GORILLA by a wide margin. It also seems like a lot of people think they couldn't defeat either of the last opponents, so we're going to upgrade the weapon to a sword. Not that a lot of people can do that much with one. So what about... Round Two a kangaroo or a chicken the size of a kangaroo? (Maybe 20% smaller)With a sword and possibly a hand gun with one bullet somewhere in this arena.

Re: Would you rather fight...
That sounds like a much better time. I'd battle up to twenty of those before fighting one huge chicken!

Re: Would you rather fight...
I think victory is much more likely against either the Kangaroo or Chicken. I would be afraid of the Chicken's enormous beak but with either beast if you can get one good hack near their neck or head then you'll have them beat. This one is probably 50/50 though in either case. btw...I like this thread.

Re: Would you rather fight...
I suspect many of you have never seen a fighting chicken. In addition to their beak, they can tear you to ribbons with their claws.
The kangaroo, on the other hand, has a claw in their feet that can slash you while the force of their kick breaks your back. For that reason, I think I still might agree with the forming consensus of giant chicken.

Well if were allowed to use a sword, then there's no use for a gun.. Neither the kangaroo or the chicken would stand a chance and would be over in record time.... As a matter of fact, if it's a Samurai sword like the one from KILL BILL, then I'll take on all 3 chimps with limbs and heads flying about..

Re: Would you rather fight...
I'd fight the chicken. Because they're deadly from in front and behind. If I can get behind the chicken, I'd have a shot.
