Question for October 1 - 7, 1998:
Which would you rather be trapped in a gymnasium-sized room with...
A Maniac with a Chainsaw |
OR |
A Lioness? |
Details: - The room is the size of your average gymnasium. However, the room is empty - i.e., there are no bleachers, rafters, etc - and most certainly no way out! - You have no weapons of any sort. - The lioness is out for blood. - The maniac is pretty protective of his chainsaw. He's a big guy and has a good grip on it. Assume that the chainsaw will never run out of gas. Oh yeah and he's trying to kill you with it, that's the idea here. |
RESULTS:
Maniac
with Chainsaw: 6
Lioness:
3
Comments:
Thanks to all who voted. There was a record turnout of 9 (including me!) And so here are the unedited responses to the question (the "unedited" part becomes significant on Steven Pilker's response)
Name: Hardister, Scott Hardister
Choice: Maniac with chainsaw
Comments: the chain saw guy will not hurt me. i will say
mean words to, hurt his feelings, and talk about his mommy. when
he puts the chain saw down to wipe the tears out of his eyes, i
will grab it, cut him into millions of pieces, cut a hole in the
wall and climb out to safety.
Name: steven freakin pilker
Choice: Lioness
Comments: cause im on a t1 right now and i have much much
speed to move around online and i think kevin is tha $hit bomb so
there and if the chainsaw guy kills you he may sexually harm you
since he is a maniac so you know it happens sometimes and the
lioness may be able to be hypnotized my my mind stare so there
Name: John "Cracker boy" Taylor
Choice: Maniac with chainsaw
Comments: Hey all I've got to say is humans make mistakes.
And you gotta think that chainsaw should be pretty heavy so he's
got a slow recover time where the lioness wouldn't. Well actually
I have a lot to say because I have another comment, if the guy
was on PCP that just might change my vote. Thank you all and good
night.
Name: Noremac [Note from Kevin: That's
Cameron]
Choice: Maniac with chainsaw
Comments: Because I would have a better chance of out
running him and making him tired enough so we would both collapse
in a heap and share a glass of cool lemonade.
Name: Jessica
Choice: Lioness
Comments: There has been much discussion about this topic,
(it is amazing what comes out at the dinner table, but Harcombe
food will do strange things to you), and I think I will take my
chances with the lioness. I always envision myself having a quick
death, and teeth in my jugular will do that.
Name: Scott "Hacked off"
Galbraith
Choice: Maniac with chainsaw
Comments: Well, the reason why is because I know how to
defeat this so-called "maniac". First, I'll let him saw
my head off. Then while he isn't suspecting, I'll get him back.
Name: Bonnie
Choice: Maniac with chainsaw
Comments: I explained why at dinner last night! [Note
from Kevin: I'm sure that means a lot to the rest of you, and I
don't recall what Bonnie said myself.]
Name: ryan
Choice: Lioness
Comments: that maniac just sounds a little too freaky for
me man. thats all there is too it.
Name: Kevin
Choice: Maniac with chainsaw
Comments: Since he's a maniac there's a good chance that
he could hurt himself with the chainsaw. When was the last time
you saw a lion get hurt on its own claws? And if you ever did
get your hands on that chainsaw, man, it's show time. But in the
unlikely event that you managed to get your hands on a
disembodied lion paw, it wouldn't be nearly as useful.
