http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDYyv-iLmRY

I mean just look at that. look how clumsy, awkward and slow they are. you guys have been watching too much king kong.

dude if anything ur video shows what the silverback could really do

look at them obviously PLAYING and how "slow" they are moving, they are showing their teeth which means in a real fight to the death the SB would 100% do the same but in a serious manner and AND look at how they are "not agile" by side stepping or whatever u call it around each other LOL if you think in full fight to the death speed these things wouldnt be agile as **** and hammer fisting the humans in the face

and lol @ u thinking the 300+ lb strong men (not marathon runners) are just guaranteed to have superior cardio to a ****ing gorilla......right because living the life in the jungle is just a cake walk compared to these roided up freaks that get out of bed put a needle in their ass then go to the gym to work out indoors.....gtfo.

gorilla do pull ups on trees in the wild not machines indoors son!

the gorilla probably just chills up in the trees....well actually probably doesnt have enough strength or cardio to make it up a tree, so he pulls out his camper chair and unfolds it and just relaxes in that while smoking a cigarette and drinking a beer......oh wait thats us humans

yeh he looks pretty non agile - look how skinny his forearms are, hes so lazy he doesnt even shave, man is he super slow looking

Presumably you're not actually trying to kill said cat.

'Getting hold of' ≠ stomping to death.

lol, being big/fat does not suggest great agility to me.

Lots of people with a hardon for gorillas itt

He's right though...killing feral cats would be tough as ****.

Those things are just too agile and tricky. If a feral cat had unlimited energy then I would die before I could kill one.

Lagdonk's "Suck-off-gorilla-and-then-bite-his-penis" strategy was slightly more promising better than Butterfly Pony's "Let's-queue-up-chaps" death march.

But both pretty made me lol.

It would be a challenge to find someone to volunteer to go first. If you did find someone, I'm sure the person lined up to go second would run away after sees the first guy ripped apart.

Short straw goes first. Other guys use that guy as a shield. When his body is torn to pieces they use his splintered bones as weapons. In fact, one of the guys should be Manute Bol and then the powerlifters can rip him apart and use his bones as spears.

The "use dead body as source of weapons" people are really overestimating the amount of time they will have before the gorilla ****s them in the face.

I'm pretty much the weakest person alive and I'm pretty sure I could kill a feral cat. As long as you don't let them bite you in the neck or some ****, pretty much everything they can do to you falls under the heading of "painful but not lethal". And when they do go to bite/scratch you, it just makes it 100x easier to grab them and break their neck.

he moved that distance in about 1.5 secs. also i doubt that was full bore.

surround the gorilla? well i read that they have a vertical leap between 5 and 10 feet so whats going to stop him from jumping clear over the guys and maybe grabbing one with his feet and slinging him against the wall as he lands?

did u guys not see him snap that tree like a pencil then bite a damn chunk out of it?

sb wins 1000 outta 1000

okay, if it's the 4:30 clip on youtube, i have a couple things to say...

the beginning was awesome. like truly awe-inspiring, seeing that many people flooding the plains and using strength through numbers. didn't feel bad about any of the animals at all, i felt like i was watching africa 500,000 years ago.

as the animals got bigger, i started to feel worse for them. i still understand this isn't some dumb **** rich guy looking for a head to put on his wall, it's food, but seeing the elephant getting speared over and over in his eyes made me a little skittish.

the hippo was even worse. i *still* get that it's food (i assume?) but i guess i just felt bad for the two hippos in the watering hole. still pretty awesome from a 'human in the plains with only a spear' perspective, and seeing the one hippo snap at the guy was scary as ****, but meh.

though i will admit to wondering how many oot'ers with spears it would take to bring down a hippo/elephant. lol

LOL

trying to catch my own (indoor) cat that i let out in my fenced in backyard sometimes when he doesn't want to go in is hilarious.

side thought: i wonder how many average humans could kill a rabies-infested large raccoon, assuming that you couldn't go to the hospital if you got bit.

i admittedly have shot one before. pulled up to my garage one afternoon (important to know, or at least i thought: daytime raccoons have rabies most likely. nighttime raccoons are just hungry, but if you see one during the day scrounging around, he's most likely sick) and hit the door opener. as it started going up, a really big raccoon ran into the garage.

so i stopped my car and wandered into my garage to chase it out, only it had backed itself into a corner and was hissing at me.

okay.

i grabbed a broom and kinda slowly walked over to him thinking i'd just shoo him out. he bit the broom and hissed some more, only this time it was more like a whiney cry.

at that point i went inside for a couple minutes just hoping he'd leave. after a while i grabbed my little .22 plinker rifle and went back out to the garage, and he was still there in the corner. as soon as he saw me, he like, i don't really know how to explain the sound, but it was like a raccoon yell. a hiss/screech/growl kinda thing.

i'm really against hurting animals, but at this point i'm thinking a) he's got rabies, b) he's obviously in the neighborhood and i have cats that i occasionally let outside, and c) **** him. that's my garage.

soooo, after i gave him another chance or two to run out of my garage, i lined him up and shot him in his neck. meant for between the eyes, maybe i missed, maybe he moved. he shook for maybe 5 seconds then stopped. wasn't trying to double tap him so i just kinda stood there for maybe a minute or two, then reached out with the tip of the rifle and pushed him and he was dead.

went back in, got a garbage bag and carefully put him into it...and then buried him. lol

felt weird to just tie and toss the bag into the garbage, so i dug a hole behind the garage and tossed him in.

stupid ****er should have just left when i gave him multiple chances. my wife still holds it against me.

i guess i forgot to add, the above story was just me reminiscing about that raccoon. if it were just me and him with no weapons, obviously stomping was the play, but i'm pretty sure he would have been able to scratch/bite me in the process (he was a fiesty little ****) and obviously i'd go get a rabies shot, but if i couldn't....

also u guys are talking about using bones as weapons. guess what sb will too. they have used weapons against groups of humans.
wont help much when he picks up 1st guy and starts swinging him around like a club.

You are taking attributes from one subset of humans and applying them to a different subset.
No, you see, I'm not doing that at all. I think you are confusing yourself and thinking I'm the one saying one human will have more endurance than 12 gorillas. I'm not. This thread is about the opposite. 12 humans fighting one gorilla. The humans don't have to be marathoners. Quite the opposite, the gorilla does.

You could re-read my last couple posts if you wish, but I'll post it again here for ease of viewing: I'm saying humans, as a species, are regarded as having some of the best endurance of any mammal on the planet. They are the best long-distance runners on the planet. If you want to throw 12 elite human athletes in a ring with a silverback gorilla the onus is on you if you want to show the gorilla has superior endurance. This is just like your ridiculous bench shirt tangent.

And danggummit they aren't even wearing bench shirts!!!

Quote:
Here is a video of a human lifting a massive rock: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0joYwYX9Co

Notice that he is using equipment. He wouldn't be able to lift the rock without the equipment. This is analogous to a powerlifter benching with a bench shirt.
Oh. We're not talking about lifting rocks nor bench pressing with a bench shirt. Maybe that's where you are confused?

Quote:
Since the powerlifters in our scenario will not be wearing their bench shirts it is irrelevant to point out how much they can bench WITH their bench shirts. The difference between what the powerlifters can bench with their bench shirts versus what they can bench without their bench shirts is not insignificant. 700 is not approximately 1000. Good job sticking to your guns though.
In this scenario, 700 is approximately 1000. Think about this for a second. Now think a little harder. Does it make more sense now?

I gotta hand it to you, you are really good at taking these absurd tangents about bench shirts and Kenyans to the most ridiculous places possible. Good on you, boss.
