Question for September 24 - 30, 1998:
Which would you rather be trapped in a narrow hallway with...
An Alligator |
OR |
A Rattlesnake? |
Details: - This is a narrow hallway - about 5 feet wide, 20 feet long, 8 foot ceiling. No doors. - You have on shorts, and no shoes. - You have no weapons of any sort. - Things to consider: Think about how big the hallway is, how big alligators are, how fast each animal can move, how capable each animal is of eating a person, how poisonous each animal is, how capable each animal is of biting down on your foot and not letting go, etc. |
RESULTS:
RattlesnAKE: 3
Alligator:
3

Thanks to those who voted. Turnout reached an all-time low. Of course it has every week so far. I voted for Alligator, making it a tie.
Name: dev
Choice: Alligator
Comments: My theory on this subject matter is that the
alligator is less quick than the rattlesnake, and i dont have a
deathly fear of alligators as i do of snakes so this was an easy
chice for me...alligators adductor muscles of the mouth are very
weak and all i have to do is get on its back...and seeing as the
hallway is ony five feet wide the aligator would have trouble
using its tail....

Choice: Rattlesnake
Comments: The obvious choice to me would be the
rattlesnake, I would just throw my shirt on top of it then grab
it and tie the shirt together encasing the snake. Problem solved.
Was that so sarcastic now Kevin???????
Name: ryan
Choice: Alligator
Comments: well, this is the toughest one for me yet. i had
to go with the alligator simply because i feel that i would have
the best chance of surviving the encounter here. if the snake
bites me, i'm probably gonna die. and hey, you can hold an
alligators jaws shut with one hand (if i'm lucky enough to be
able to get it shut without LOSING my hand). also, as quick as an
alligator can be, that snake is alot quicker. it would be alot
thougher for the alligator to turn around in that narrow hallway.
so there ya have it.
Name: Bob
Choice: Rattlesnake
Comments: A rattlesnake would be easier to avoid or trap.
I mean you can grab it by the neck if you are lucky and it is
then harmless and you can bash its brains out. I would try to use
my shirt to trap it in. Plus the venom of a rattlesnake is not
always fatal while getting eaten is.

Choice: Rattlesnake
Comments: I have a better chance of catching the snake and
wringing its little head off then doing the same thing to an
alligator. Plus I built up an immunity to snake posion while
serving on the ship of the Dred Pirate Roberts.
Name: Kevin
Choice: Alligator
Comments: I mean, just stand behind the alligator! What
can it do, turn around? It's not too fast. And if it does turn
around just hop around real quick to the other side. Try hopping
around that snake, though, it won't be pretty.
