Actually it's very hard to fall asleep if you have diarrhea.

Would you rather fight off a Grizzly Bear or a Siberian Tiger?

Either way you choose, I count it as a lose-lose situation. You're bound to lose a limb or two while fighting either, but if I were to choose for the quicker death, I'd go for the tiger.

Every time I have diarrhoea I feel like I'm going to die. So the island it is.

Fight or simply encounter a bear/tiger? I'd rather the bear. Better chance of survival IMO. But I think it might have more endurance :(

Fight, as in mortal combat.

For me, I'd probably say surviving the tiger would be easier.

You'd have way better chances with the bear. No matter what, fight, flight or play dead, that tiger will fuck you up.

Nah, I just think it's not as bad as the stigma of being gay when you're not.

Look at Ernest Givens of the Houston Oilers (mid-1990s). Teammates thought he was gay, and he feels it resulted in his ostracism and trade and eventual early retirement.

Depends on how tired you are I guess. Really you wouldn't have to fall asleep, just nod off for a second and lose the necessary force of will to keep the gates closed, then it's over.

I guess it all depends on your willpower. I've never let the gates burst open.

I'll admit I did once, though when I went to sleep I did not knowingly have diarrhea. When I woke up, the evidence was there.

Would you rather get beaten up by a hot chick or a kid half your age? And no, no hot MMA stars like Gina Carano are allowed in this question.

Then you haven't had explosive diarrhea.

Well, it depends on what kind of IQ test you're using, and remember that Iq testing doesn't really mean someone will be intelligent, and blah blah, but hmm, I'd say the former if i had to choose, I suppose.

Is it more possible to outrun a bear or a tiger? If running is not an option, a tiger would be easier than a bear, but your chances are slim at best too.

You won't be outrunning either. Both are much faster runners than olympics winners.

Bears are omnivores, though, whereas tigers pure carnivores. I'd take the bear because it's not a pure predator and thus logic dictates not as efficient a killer. Having lived with a cat for years I witnessed many times a cat can't help but hunt and kill anything it views as potential prey. I'm not sure of bears but I suspect their hunting instincts aren't as intense as they spend a lot of time eating berries and other such stuff.

I'm having a hard time understanding why there's so much debate about the least compelling scenario in this thread.

@rockmanj: are you answering the first scenario, dumb/strong or smart/weak?

I lolled at the thought of Usain Bolt pulling poses as he outruns a bear. Or so he thought :p

I'd literally be ashamed if I got beaten up by an eight year old, so in this case, I choose the hot chick.

Heck, getting beat up is physical contact, so I'd go with a got chick any day of the week.
I'm not joking.

oh, I still believe that taking out a bear is a more realistic option than taking down a tiger.

You have obviously never fought a team of 8 year-olds.

Their fists are crotch height, and if you don't tell them not to kick your shins, they'll do it as hard as they possibly can.

Someone show me a story like this about a man and a tiger.

That's what's hard about teaching 8 yr olds their place...they have no qualm about punching your balls. Still, I'm with python on this one. It definitely feels more shameful to be beaten by kids then a member of the opposite sex.

Especially these days, where kids are cocky, and sexes are supposedly equal ;)
