Question for September 17 - 23, 1998:

Which would you rather be trapped in a medium-sized room with...

A Rottweiler

OR

10,000 YELLOW JACKETS?

 

Details:

- The room is of medium size - say, 15' x 15', with a ten foot ceiling. The room is totally empty and there is no way out.

- You have no weapons of any sort.

- None of this "Oh, dogs like me" stuff. The rottweiler is full grown and out for blood. And I do mean out for blood.

- The yellow jackets are the usual annoying, hovering, won't-leave-you alone selves. And there's TEN THOUSAND of them!

 

RESULTS:

Rottweiler: 7
YELLOW JACKETS: 0


Comments:

It was UNANIMOUS for the rottweiler. Personally, I would have voted for the yellow jackets. You could just curl up in the corner and stay still, and they would leave you alone. I doubt the dog would be so friendly. However, since it was unanimous I refrained from voting, just like that guy who cast his vote against James Monroe just so he wouldn't win the presidency with a unanimous vote. Oh wait, that's the total opposite.

One of the votes (the first one listed here) was TOTALLY sarcastic - that is, it was obviously in favor of the yellow jackets. Nevertheless the vote said dog so I counted it as such.

Comments: Well I would choose the rottweiler, for obvious reasons... I mean you could just let it chew on your arm where as the yellowjackets(which don't sting unless you bother them) would buzz in your face, and annoy you. So to me the choice is obvious, and it should be to you too...

Choice: Rottweiler
Comments: I could keep an eye on the rottweiler while I'm avoiding him. 10,000 yello jackets would be like Suburban drivers--really, REALLY annoying and they're everywhere!


Name: Jessica
Choice: Rottweiler
Comments: Let's see, one against one, or one against 10,000. Plus, the dog is a much bigger target to hit than the yellow jackets.

Name: ryan hardister
Choice: Rottweiler
Comments: duh, i mean, first of all its one dog, and i would like to think that no matter how angry the dog is at me, i would be able to put up a good fight and eventually take the thing out. however, 10,000 yellowjackets...thats alot of bees. i would also like to say that i also voted for the two wolves. they aren't as big as a tiger and their main weapon is their bite, while a tiger not only can bite (and can i say i would rather get biten by a wolve than a tiger), but it also has some pretty mean claws on it.
