Shark or Tiger

[Reephdweller]

Escape from reality for a second and imagine yourself in a situation where in order to live you had a survive a challenge by fighting either a shark or a tiger. The shark encounter for you would of course be in waters.

In both battles you would be given a bowie knife to defend and attack the creature with.
Which would you choose and why?

I think I'd take the tiger because I wouldn't want to deal with having to gasp for air and swim while fighting the shark. Whereas the tiger I could try and run around and away from to give myself the chance at a second strike if my first attempt didn't go swell.

Discuss.

I think Id have a better shot at the shark, because Id stab its eye. I think if I tried that on the tiger, he'd get mad

[FUNKMAN]

the shark if i was able to wear swimmers goggles

Y'all know me. Know how I earn a livin'. I'll catch this bird for you, but it ain't gonna be easy. Bad fish. Not like going down to the pond and chasing bluegills and tommycocks. This shark, swallow you whole. No shakin', no tenderizin', down you go. And we gotta do it quick, that'll bring back your tourists, put all your businesses on a payin' basis. But it's not gonna be pleasant. I value my neck a lot more than three thousand bucks, chief. I'll find him for three, but I'll catch him, and kill him, for ten. But you've gotta make up your minds. If you want to stay alive, then ante up. If you want to play it cheap, be on welfare the whole winter. I don't want no volunteers, I don't want no mates, there's too many captains on this island. Ten thousand dollars for me by myself. For that you get the head, the tail, the whole damn thing.

This one is easy. SHARK. No doubt. Sharks don't like to fuck with stuff that fights back. That is why they take a bite and then swim away and circle. They make sure your ass is lame before coming back. Also, sharks roll their eyes back in their head when they bite so they don't get poked. Fuckin queers.
SHARK

Tiger hands down!

At least on land you can be more mobile....in the water all you are is bait....

[Coach]

Tiger..
1) no human can dodge out of the way of a 12 foot diameter hole full of teeth coming at you at @50 mph in water.
2) Sharks are not usually solo feeders..where there is one there are more..so if you survive the one that just missed you, you won't see the one coming up from behind you.

3) you can't hear a shark.

[realmenhatelife]

the shark. a tiger has reach, so he can fuck you up with his claws without really exposing anything vital. a shark has to charge you with its most vulnerable places, gills and eyes, to hurt you.

[LaBoob]

The knife would be slowed down considerably from the water... kinda hard to get stabby with all that resistance.

it's not the knife but your arm..

SHARK

He's got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll's eyes. Until he bites ya. Then the roll up white.

that's what I meant... throwing a punch underwater is kind of pointless; granted a knife is more deadly than a fist, but still...

Actually, I can hear a shark. I'm blesssssed. The question was SHARK...not sharks. You can't hypothesize a second shark, the rules are already set. Tigers have arms and shit. three things to attack you with, not including his dick. A shark has that open mouth. It wouldn't be 50 mph. I'm telling you sharks are very careful. The shark would sneak up like a puerto rican and take a quick rip at you. I can hear a shark.

[cozzie]

I would take on the tiger, cause i'm a scared of Jaws. I would stab the tiger with the knife, and climb a tree all the way to the top. When the tiger reclaims his senses after the first stabbing and climbs the tree after me , the tree will bend way over , almost to the ground. I will stab the tiger again, and once he falls to the ground , the tree will catapult me into the next county. Problem solved.

[K.C.]

I would think you'd get one clear shot at a death blow on a Tiger, by stabbing at the head when it charges you, before it mauls you.

The shark could out maneuver you...it's tougher to guard all sides in the water...say the shark just swims in circles and bites when it gets a clear opening.

Plus, the shark can attack from underneath you...it's hard to stab downward into the water.


I'd take the tiger.

Tiger here. Espacially the ones at Great Adventure. All they do is sleep.

[Mike Teacher]

Tiger Shark.

[Hottub]

A shark? On dry land? with my boys backin' me up, yo? One dead fish!

A tiger? In 20 foot deep ocean Water? Big dopey paws trying to tread water.

Fuck you animals. I rule when I call the ground rules.

Really?

Unfortunately, no one has yet measured the swimming speed of a White Shark going flat-out. Analysis of White Sharks attacking a video camera-equipped surfboard off the South Farallon Islands, California, give some indication of this animal's attack speed. Current consensus among shark scientists is that the top swimming speed of the Great White is at least 25 miles (40 kilometres) per hour. My own rough, back-of-the-envelope-type calculations — using several methods — suggest that the White Shark may achieve burst speeds of 35 miles (56 kilometres) per hour or more. That may not seem very speedy, but it's seven times faster than the finest Olympic swimmer and probably at least ten times faster than you or I could manage.



So @ 50 is not out of the question

If the shark was on land, I would without a doubt do an elbow drop on it before caving it's pointy head in with my knife.

Now as for the water logged tiger, I'd use the method of picking up the tiger since everything is pretty much weightless and squeeze it's stupid nose closed while it's paws flap away at the water like a retard. It would be at that moment that my knife would be shoved way inside the tigers head and then I'd twist the handle for measure.

DEAD AND DONE!

But back to the ground rules.

I would try in a quick swipe motion to slice at the tigers face. If I make contact the tiger will no doubt be in agony, it will be at that moment that I turn into a human blanket and pounce at the big cats chestal area and take the wind out of it. Next I'd roll off it and shoo it in the nuts with my doc maartens at full force. The rest of the time would be a vicious series of knife plunges at various parts on the tigers body. Between stabs I might also try to throw it off by getting into a tickle fight competely confusing the thing. that would be one dead tiger no doubt.

[PapaBear]

Shark. You wouldn't even need the knife. Punch him in the snout and poke his eyes. A tiger in the water would be thrashing around so much, you wouldn't even be able to get close to his body to stab him.

Thank you Jay, how is it possible anyone thought I mentioned a second shark let alone swarms of sharks. The settings for the challenge were clear.

shiger!

but i'd totally fuck up shigeru (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shigeru_miyamoto).

I choose Tiger.
There is no way I will be able to beat either one of these creatures, and I believe the Tiger will kill me faster. As someone said earlier Sharks play with food for a while, a Tiger goes for the kill.

[ahhdurr]

I think most people don't know shigeru's secret weapon - you'd die later from bloodborne pathogens.

Give me a nitrox tank and let me at the shark. I'm guessing that as long as I stayed calm and was able to control buoyancy, I could get one good poke at his nose on the approach, like Flipper with a blade.
