Hypothetical Question
I posed the following question to my roommate last night: If you could create an unlimited number of clones of yourself, each clone possessing the same strength and intelligence as you, how many of you would it take, without using weapons, to kill an average brown bear? His answer was two. I said he was full of shit. A brown bear would rip my roommate in half before his clone knew what was happening. Here are the rest of the animals I asked him about, followed by his responses:
Polar Bear: “Three of me.”
Kodiak Bear: Five of me.”
Rhinoceros: “I don’t know if I could kill a rhinoceros. Its skin is too thick.”
Shark: “Fifteen of me.”
Tiger: “At least thirty. My fighting style is pretty similar to a tiger’s, so we would cancel each other out.
Silverback Gorilla: “Three of me.”
Regular Gorilla: “Two of me.”
Wolverine: “One of me.” To which I replied, “You really think you could kill a wolverine by yourself?” His reply: “Wolverines are actually not very big. You could fit a wolverine in a guitar case.”(I don’t know if this is true, but I know there’s no way he could single-handedly kill one.)
Elephant: “Thirty of me.”
This conversation went on for at least thirty minutes. I have no idea why neither of us has a girlfriend. Oh, and I think we all know how I would fare against a wild animal.
