The pokemon fan in me is saddened by this, especially considering my team in pokemon yellow to defeat the elite four included all of them... you can't help but observe the 'truthiness' (thanks Colbert) to this image

Gorilla Debate plus Ducreux Memes

this is more for my benefit, but you may enjoy as well

as for the gorilla debate (note if you haven't read the original post by my colleague, you can check it out here, I don't have as elaborately thought out ideas as Garrett, but I do think there's one thing he forgot. It's as if watching The Office religiously for 4 years has taught him nothing...

Dwight said it perfectly, the eyes are like the groin of the face. It's undoubtedly a weakness. Now I understand you mentioned no utensils, but I'm confident with however many people, at least one could make it up onto the gorilla's back. Once on the back, claw the right and left eye with the right and left hands. Most likely this person will be sacrificed, but it will be for victory. As long as they hold on for dear life, 150+ lb of pressure on the eye sockets will bring down the gorilla in due time.

Now, you mentioned they'd get thrown off in a second, but nay I say. If you have two "able bodied" people holding on for dear life on each of the gorilla's arms, the 300-400 + lbs on those arms easily slow him down enough to let the other guy destroy the eyes. Henceforth, the gorilla has no chance, the armor will be broken down enough for 10 or so people at a time to "lay down a monster."

Humans win.

rebuttal to gorilla argument to come within the next couple days, a.k.a. midterms are over soon

Debate of the Month- Gorilla vs. Humans

Okay. One day at the lunch table I brought this question up, and it has legitimately been in VERY heated debate for the past 2 months.

We were sitting at the table in South Dining Hall, in which the dining area is a huge cavernous room (Harry-Potter-esque) with 40 foot ceilings, woodwork, and its lets say a little bit smaller than a football field. Question was posed:

If all of the tables and utensils were gone, and a Male Silverback fully grown GORILLA was all of a sudden to appear in the middle of the hall, who would win. 500 students with bare-hands, or the gorilla?

Now, without much thought, most people go "oh, the students", and that's probably what you're thinking.......But in my opinion, you're dead wrong.

A fully grown gorilla is HUGE. And pretty damn strong too. Nearly 6 feet tall, with a wingspan of 7+ feet, and weighing easily over 400 lbs. Gorilla wins.

Let's try some scenarios.

1-person at a time. Gorilla punches you. You go down faster than the Gorilla can eat a banana. Gorilla wins.

2-10 people. One person as bait(unlucky soul) and others jump on his back. First off, that bait guy maybe lasts 2, 3 seconds tops. And if you jump on his back, gorilla will pull you off in a second and toss you. Gorilla wins.

11-100+ people. Even if everyone rushes this gorilla at once, there is no way there is enough space for an organized "hit", aka the gorilla can just flail. You might knock him down and pile on top, but the thing can definitely bench like 800+ pounds, and its arms are bigger than my torso. People just flying everywhere. Gorilla wins.

And if any of the attackers are females, gorilla wins (sorry, weak wrists(reference)).

As you see, I'm fully convinced that the gorilla wins in any situation. But I'd put the number at 1000 able-bodied men with a death wish, maybe like 1 guy survives. But think about it. There is NO WAY we are hurting this thing. It pounding it's chest is harder than Tyson can punch. The thing can break trees in half. Gorilla just running train all over the place.

Now, again,keep in mind an integral part of the argument is that there are no weapons. And also, the group decided that if it was 2 gorillas covering each others back, humans lose every time. Regardless of numbers.

Tell me what you think.
