I've wondered the answer to this question all my life.

Now I am ready.

Post by: wombat on February 25, 2010, 01:39:59 am: My score was 26, which was a surprise given some of my wimpy answers. Maybe because I thought it wasn't fair that the quiz gave no credit for experience with non-human primates, so I said "yes" to whether I could kick the head off a fast moving baboon. I figured that was the only question that came close.

Post by: jay-ell on February 25, 2010, 02:21:45 am: 35, somehow?

Probably because, though I've never been in a physical fight, I imagine I would, in fact, punch better with the smell of blood in the air.

Post by: greenkoolayd on February 25, 2010, 06:01:35 pm: this is like that discussion-inducing question: how many 5 year olds could you take? literally, as in a fist fight..... its strange and complicated because of how we esteem children in society. but at the same time, interesting to look at the situation without that aspect.

Post by: side_show on February 26, 2010, 05:04:52 pm: Apparently I could take 38 baboons in a fight. The quizz failed to ask me an important question though - Have you ever been to the Enchanted Monkey Forrest? (http://www.flickr.com/photos/side_show/sets/72157594401934514/) Yes. Yes I have. I understand that macaques and baboons are not the same, but I did help out a friend when one of the macaques stole her glasses. It was a pretty astonishing set of events that taught me primates are speedy, crafty, and have much sharper teeth than one would suspect.

Even taking down one of those bad boys would be a stroke of luck. 40lbs of muscle and attitude.

Yes, that's what I was thinking. Some people might be able to keep one at bay, but a second would be virtually impossible.
