Interactive Blogging!

A little while back, the shadowy and mysterious Codename V. offered to open her semi-regular bad-movie bashing reviewing up to requests. Well, spear and magic called her bluff and sent in a request, and I am pleased to say that V. did not disappoint. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you... Shark Attack 3: Megalodon! Now who wouldn't want their favorite bad movie immortalized in such exquisite fashion?

And if that's not enough, you can also participate in a poll to decide one of the Great Questions Of The Ages: Who Would Win In A Fight: A Human Or A Monkey?

The social, networking side of blogging makes her kinda uncomfortable. But do feel free to e-mail her your bad movie requests. Or just leave 'em here and I'll see that she gets 'em.

monkey hands down.

i reckon it depends on what kind of monkey, a macaque is a pretty small monkey. but see what happened to george felix...

last summer i met chuck norris. the photographer i was working with, and i, both have a min. of martial arts experience. he kept wondering if we could take him. not likely, but a monkey could.

I'm not sure about monkeys in general, but I know chimps are much, much stronger than humans. I think if they got a good grip on their human opponent, it would be all over.

On the other hand, I assume that most monkeys are not well versed in martial arts techniques. Except maybe when they're drunk...

Well, my first thought was that I think a lot of astronauts have military backgrounds (then again, I may be thinking back to the days when they were all test pilots), and should therefore know some hand-to-hand combat techniques which would give them the edge.

But if they're mostly Air Force, I'm not sure they would have gotten quite the same level of hand-to-hand training. And if they have to fight in their spacesuits, they're at a serious advantage. Then again, if their helmets are really tough, the suits could be like body armor. It might just end in a standoff, with neither one able to do much damage against the other.

ahh, so then you have heard of drunken monkey style grasshopper? (two different techniques, i believe) but very real, and from what i've seen, rather effective.

a chimp is (i could be wrong) 800 times stronger than a human. think tendons, not body mass. then, as V pointed out, there are the fangs.

What about who wopuld win in caveman vs. astronauts?

neandethal or cro-magnon?

I'm ashamed to say I am a chimp supremicist - I didn't even consider that there are other kinds of monkeys. Or does a chimp even qualify as a monkey at all?

Eli said...

I've always thought of chimps as monkeys, but according to Wikipedia they are considered the smallest of the great apes.

I don't think it's inappropriate to think of them as monkeys for hand-to-hand combat purposes.

(Yet another sentence I never thought I'd type)

Jeff Corwin of The Jeff Corwin Experience on Animal Planet is terrified of monkeys - the little guys.

He needs to vote in V's poll.
