Name: Allison
Choice: Leeches
Comments: Actually, I'd much rather be trapped with 10
slugs. Why the heck did you put our conversation on your web
page? Did you IM me just for that purpose? You're crazy! I can't
believe you did that. Now everyone is going to think I'm weird or
something. I came to visit your website just to see exactly what
the question was, and what do I see? A conversation I had with
you not ten minutes before! What a violation of privacy! Geeez!

Choice: Porcupine
Comments: Acupuncture is very good for the body and I have
always wanted to try it out.
Name: David M.
Choice: Porcupine
Comments: Ever since I saw that old, old movie The
African Queen, I've been terrified of leeches because of
this one scene where Humphrey Bogart comes out of the river
covered in leeches. A porcupine in a sleeping bag could be very
painful but would basically be trapped in one location. Leeches
could crawl up your body and suck your blood in multiple
locations.
Also, as I pointed out with the skunk question back in the day, the unpleasant part of a porcupine is just used in defense. Maybe you could sing her/him/it/all the above a lullaby, and she/he/it/all the above would go to sleep. A sleeping porcupine might not hurt you as badly.

Comments: Duh! Think about it. Porcupines hurt, and can't
be squahed. The mere size differential between me and the leechs
is enough to make me pick that one. I can squish them one by one
so I wouldn't have to worry about them. The porcupine is still
dangerous after death, if I could even manage that bc he could
still poke me. The only downside to the leeches getting mushed is
that their guts and blood(and possibly mine too) would be all
over the inside of the bag. Of course, I don't have to clean it,
so oh well!!!

Comments: hey, maybe i could crush the leeches with my
hands, they couldn't seriously harm me anyway, as for the
porcupine, i don't even wanna think about what type of damage it
could be doing down there in that bag
Name: Cliver
Choice: Leeches
Comments: Well, in a perfect world, i would have picked
sort of a hybrid of the two, a porcu-leech. It would stick you
with its quills and then suck up the blood ( anticoagulant on its
quills). anyway it is not a perfect world and so i will go with
the leeches simply because they can suck the "bad blood"
out.
Name: Kimberly (no scarey spice here)
Choice: Porcupine
Comments: Well I think I could deal with the porcupine
sticking me, but I would freak out with the slimy leeches
crawling all over me. I get the shivers thinking about those
slimy little creatures, kinda like in that movie where the kids
go into the river and come out covered in them. I dont remember
the name, but it was really gross.
Name: Bonnie
Choice: Leeches
Comments: Although leeches are rather disgusting, I've
heard that they
are not too painful, whereas if you were stuck with the
porcupine that could hurt alot if he got mad. Technically
the porcupine is not out for blood, however he probably wouldn't
mind drawing some if he got angry. You could just
pull the leeches off after you got out of the bag. Also don't
leeches need to be moist to survive? It probably wouldn't be too
moist in the bag so maybe they would die quickly and leave you
alone.

such a horrible question with a response.
