Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted February 27, 2004 Report Posted February 27, 2004 Worst buzz term of the last five years. "Bros before Hos"
Mole Posted February 27, 2004 Author Report Posted February 27, 2004 I can't stand that Buffy/Angel/Firefly shit either, but I hate almost everything that's ever been on tv. I like Iron Chef, The Dukes of Hazzard, Monty Python's Flying Circus, Fawlty Towers, Jeopardy, Seinfeld, and almost nothing else. I like trivia, comedy, and childhood sentimental amusement. The antics of pretty white kids doesn't interest me. Atleast you like the funniest show ever, Seinfeld.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted February 27, 2004 Report Posted February 27, 2004 MPFC is funnier, but Seinfeld's still good shit.

Ripper Posted February 27, 2004 Report Posted February 27, 2004 In a fair fight, cave men. If each is given one of their weapons, astronauts. If the weapon is a big stick...cavemen. And maybe I missed something in the past few months of exile but damn did some people have the bitch stick shoved up their pee-hole at the beganing of this thread.
Guest Dids Posted February 27, 2004 Report Posted February 27, 2004 Cavemen don't have lasers, they lose. I don't mind Buffy et al, but Joss Whedon just seems like a 12 year old. That said- the only show I make time to watch each week is Everwood, so obviously my opinion is null and void.
HarleyQuinn Posted February 27, 2004 Report Posted February 27, 2004 Isn't this assuming that Astronauts would have lasers? Anyways, I would take the astronauts because they are probably bigger in size and a lot more intelligent. The clubs may give them a bit of trouble though
The Ghost of bps21 Posted February 27, 2004 Report Posted February 27, 2004 Why would they have weapons? The question isn't "who would win a war between cavemen and astronauts" It's who would win in a FIGHT.
Ripper Posted February 27, 2004 Report Posted February 27, 2004 How could anyone pick the astronauts. The cavemen, while smaller and dumber, are more feral, athletic and stronger. They would wipe the floor with the astronauts.
HarleyQuinn Posted February 27, 2004 Report Posted February 27, 2004 Well if it's a fight they may still have weapons. Regardless, we need more information damnit. How buffed up are the astronauts? Cavemen didn't seem that muscular though so the point may still swing the astronaut's way.
Guest EQ Posted February 27, 2004 Report Posted February 27, 2004 I hate almost everything that's ever been on tv. I hate people like you. Anyway, I say the astronauts would win. You have to be in great shape to get through the training required to be an astronaut (a lot have previously been involved in the military). Not to mention the fact that the astronauts would simply be able to outsmart the cavemen.
C Dubya 04 Posted February 27, 2004 Report Posted February 27, 2004 What about John Glenn? Didn't they just send him back to space? A caveman would kick his old ass.
Guest EQ Posted February 27, 2004 Report Posted February 27, 2004 But could an old caveman kick his ass? The fight should still be "even".
The Ghost of bps21 Posted February 27, 2004 Report Posted February 27, 2004 Astronauts are clearly smarter...and physically fit... But they don't have the survival instincts at the level of a caveman. Astronauts may be in shape...but their bodies aren't fine tuned for the hunt...like a caveman's is.
C Dubya 04 Posted February 27, 2004 Report Posted February 27, 2004 I don't think that many cavement lived to reach old age. Their lifespans were fairly short. It would hard to keep the fight even.
Guest EQ Posted February 27, 2004 Report Posted February 27, 2004 The hunt? I thought we were just talking about theoretically throwing cavemen and astronauts into a room and letting them go at it. I agree about the survival instincts, but I don't know if that would give the cavemen enough of an advantage. Also are we talking about one caveman vs. one astronaut or a group of cavemen vs. a group of astronauts? The only reason I think the distinction should be made is because I could see an astronaut coming to his fellow astronauts aid happening more frequently than a caveman trying to save another caveman if he was getting his ass beat.
Guest EQ Posted February 27, 2004 Report Posted February 27, 2004 I don't think that many cavement lived to reach old age. Their lifespans were fairly short. It would hard to keep the fight even. Yeah, I thought about this after I posted it. I think in that extreme case, the caveman would kill the astronaut but I think the average caveman against the average astronaut would be a different story
Guest Dids Posted February 27, 2004 Report Posted February 27, 2004 Everybody here is giving Cavemen way too much credit. And if I were an Astronaught and I was going to fight a Caveman, I'd bring my laser. This assumes that this is a "meet me in the gravel pit after school" kinda fight, and not a "I got jumped by a Caveman outside the bar" kinda fight.
The Ghost of bps21 Posted February 27, 2004 Report Posted February 27, 2004 I think this is a "lock a caveman and an astronaut in an empty room" kind of fight.
Highland Posted February 27, 2004 Report Posted February 27, 2004 Well, I saw Quest for Fire and there's a scene where one caveman gorilla presses a log and chucks it at like 2 or 3 people so my vote goes to him.
RavishingRickRudo Posted February 27, 2004 Report Posted February 27, 2004 I think the Caveman would win. In the case of Extreme Strength vs. Extreme Skill, Extreme Skill *always* wins. At least, in every instance I have seen it has. The Caveman would have Extreme Strength, but the Astronaut doesn't have Extreme Skill; he probably has minimum skill. He probably knows a few hand-to-hand combat moves given his military training, but his actual experience in using it is between 0 and dick nothing. Astronauts are generally fighter pilots, and successful ones at that, so they were never in the same one-on-one situations a Caveman would be in. Cosmonauts are a different story.
Guest Dids Posted February 27, 2004 Report Posted February 27, 2004 Why do we assume that the Cavemen have "Extreme Strength". Cavemen are just men- probably malnourished men at that. My assumption that the Astronaughts have lasers isn't nearly as far fetched. As we all know space travel=laser. It's a simple fact. Under the "Caveman vs. Astronaught" with the "Locked in a Room Stipulation", I'm still giving it to the Astronaught. I'm betting he's bigger and in better shape.
Guest EQ Posted February 28, 2004 Report Posted February 28, 2004 Why do we assume that the Cavemen have "Extreme Strength". Cavemen are just men- probably malnourished men at that. Yep, that's what I was going to say
HarleyQuinn Posted February 28, 2004 Report Posted February 28, 2004 If the astronaught can utilize his speed and intelligence he'd probably have a distinct advantage as he would be able to tire down the caveman however if the caveman can corner the astronaught then the caveman could take it quite easily. So IMO it depends on how each side approaches this fight in order to determine a true winner.
RavishingRickRudo Posted February 28, 2004 Report Posted February 28, 2004 Why do we assume that the Cavemen have "Extreme Strength". Cavemen are just men- probably malnourished men at that. Neanderthals were as formidable as the Ice Age environment they lived in.Their short squat physique was an ideal body shape for conserving heat. But despite their small stature, they had big, powerful muscles - a sign of the demanding lifestyle they led. They looked out at their harsh world from under a bony ridge that arched across their foreheads. Set in the middle of their long faces was a long projecting nose that distanced the delicate tissues of the brain from the frozen Ice Age air. They were skilled hunters, cooperating together in hunting parties. Neanderthals exploited the natural landscape to surround their quarry and make a kill at close range. This hunting practice left many Neanderthals with painful injuries. Neanderthals were capable of speech, but their communication skills were not as advanced as our own. They also seemed to lack an understanding of abstract concepts such as art. http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/cavemen/
Guest Dids Posted February 28, 2004 Report Posted February 28, 2004 I'm still taking an Astronaught with the benefits of modern nutrition, weight training, and medicine over some short dude, even if he is built.
Guest EQ Posted February 28, 2004 Report Posted February 28, 2004 After reading RRR's post, I think that the cavemen would stand a better chance, but my vote still goes to Astronauts
Guest HungryJack Posted February 28, 2004 Report Posted February 28, 2004 consdering the Neanderthal men could literally ripthe astronauts arms from their sockets and beat them with them, I'm gonna take Cavemen.
