Would you rather...

[Roy C.]

You can only choose one.

[Dexter007]

Bathe in feces, or eat a bowl of clipped finger nails?

[Dexter007]

I guess I would have to choose the nails.

[cricket]

It depends whose feces but for now I'll eat the fingernails

Fall off a ladder or fall off a horse?

[Dexter007]

Fall off of a ladder.

You didn't say how high.

[Roy C.]

I added the poll. Oh and horse. And nails.

[cricket]

I went with Rosanne. It may not be so bad if I had a few drinks in me.

I'd have to be knocked out cold first.

[cricket]

I figure I've probably already had something similar happen anyway.

[Movie Max]

Do I get to choose the Nickelback album?

[Roy C.]

Do I get to choose the Nickelback album?

No matter which you choose, they each cause death. Though with the Nickelback, you'll suffer before you die. ;)

At least the others are quicker.

[Citizen Rules]

Be eaten alive by piranha

Just 1 piranha wouldn't do any thing. They are skittish in the wild when alone, but much more aggressive in schools. That's fish schools:p Not the other kind......Natives often go swimming in waters with piranha, at least I read that once, but I wouldn't try it.

In the dry season with the Amazon flood waters recede and the fish are all condensed into a smaller area then piranha get dangerous.

[Saunch]

I take Roseanne (and a whole lot of alcohol), bowl of nails and horse.

If you listen to Nickleback for a week you commit suicide, obviously.

[Movie Max]

I remember this "Would you rather..." option from the playground, back in the day. For some reason, this one stuck with me.:eek:

Have your sack shredded, while sliding down a rusty old slide, buck naked, straight into a pool of iodine.

Depends on how deep the cut. And what would iodine do? Is it like acid?

[Roy C.]

Maybe I'll start a game thread on the topic

[Movie Max]

It's what you used to put on a kid's cut. It burns. It was all well thought out, from a kid's point of view.

When I was kid way back when, my mother used hydrogen peroxide. But same thing I guess.

In that case, I might choose the slide, as at least there would be no permanent damage.

[Citizen Rules]

Hydrogen Peroxide don't hurt, but iodine ouch!...Alcohol also hurts real bad in a fresh cut.

[Dexter007]

Would you rather fall out of a plane, without a parachute, hundreds of feet in the air or be stranded naked in the middle of the Arctic Ocean?

[Miss Vicky]

Hydrogen peroxide burns my skin if I don't rinse it off right away. Iodine only burns when applied to wounds.

I'd take the Plane = quick, easy, painless, plus you get a total rush before dying.

With stranded naked in the middle of the Arctic Ocean - there's quite enough time for panic, despair and terror to set in while waiting for the end. The only good thing about drowning in freezing waters is you usually succumb to hypothermia first, so the drowning is much easier because most of your functions have already shut down.

Here's a question: If you aim for a mountain, hill, or incline, could you try and run onto the
slope to slow your descent?

No - only Batman & Robin can fall from hundreds of feet from the sky and "skateboard" down angled rooftops and somehow land without breaking anything.

(Or... if you're Indiana Jones and have an inflatable raft handy, you can fall hundreds of feet out of a plane and land on a sloped mountain, riding the raft down like a sled, and somehow end up in India!)

[Dexter007]

No - only Batman & Robin can fall from hundreds of feet from the sky and "skateboard" down angled rooftops and somehow land without breaking anything.

I meant, can you slow your descent on the slope to save your life? Injuries are allowed.

From "hundreds of feet" up? No.
It would really depend on a whole lot of variables - height, speed, distance, angle, snow depth, etc.
Generally, falls from certain heights and above are considered terminal (no chance of survival). There've been a few "miracles" though that have defied explanation.
