  • dimmerswitch, on 12/14/2007, -2/+250Apparently I can take on 28 so I no longer have to live in fear of elementary classrooms.
    • danconia, on 12/14/2007, -2/+62I don't know man, you've heard in the news about how the kids per classroom ratio keeps climbing, right? You might be safe now but the way the public education system is going you should stay alert when picking up your niece from Kindergarten.
      • sotopheavy, on 12/14/2007, -0/+31How many can you take out if you grab one by the feet and spin around
        • eliteeggnog, on 12/14/2007, -1/+24One of the morality questions is actually
          'Would you feel morally comfortable picking up and using one of the children as a weapon?'
          No/Maybe/***** yes.
          I chose ***** yes.
          • Fungo, on 12/14/2007, -1/+16THIS! IS! DAYCARE!
          • zetamilk, on 12/14/2007, -0/+6What better way is there to take out a child then to use his own friend as the weapon?
          • AZSanMan, on 12/14/2007, -0/+3It boils down to: If I am in the middle of a bunch of kids like a scene out of Children of the Corn.. I'm going to walk away alive. Nuf Said.
      • OwdenBowden, on 12/14/2007, -13/+7This is by far one of the best submission and comments sections on digg EVER. This made my day because we have pockets of diggers talking Morality, others are talking about using kids as a weapon, while there are other diggers who are so outrage at the thought of this that you can actually see their jaws drop open.

        This is what makes America the greatest country in the world. The rights that allow us to discuss such things in an open and non-edited forum. This might even be a great presidential debate question for a YouTuber? Just an idea.

        Bravo - to the originator of the subject mater
        Bravo - to fellow digger Tamar for bringing this to light
        Bravo - to ALL DIGGERS for keeping it going.
        • krebcycle, on 12/14/2007, -0/+4yeah, this is a great moral victory for freedom of speech. wtf??
        • RobotCitizen, on 12/15/2007, -0/+5Dude, you need better heroes.
    • Trav3133, on 12/14/2007, -53/+1You did not take the test. You just had that comment in mind before you even clicked the article.
      • DiggzDE, on 12/14/2007, -0/+8Actually I got the same score. Is dimmerswitch my long lost twin?
        • dimmerswitch, on 12/14/2007, -0/+15Maybe we studied under the same Ninja Master - don't say his name, you'll be killed.
          • amoirae, on 12/14/2007, -0/+2Did he teach you the Hairy Palm and the Bad Touch of Death?

            Or did he just like me more?
      • dimmerswitch, on 12/14/2007, -0/+5Why would I do that?
    • Dylson, on 12/14/2007, -0/+22I can take 24 5 year olds. The real question here is will I ever need to?
      • amoirae, on 12/14/2007, -0/+22I can take out 26. The point isn't "need to" it's "would you be able to."

        No ***** Village of the Damned on my watch!
        • victorh86, on 12/14/2007, -4/+1Dude I was thinking the same thing.
        • bioskope, on 12/15/2007, -2/+3whats the good thing about twenty five year olds?

          Theres twenty of them.





          WTF did I just say. OMG


          I swear it felt like /b/ took over my body there for a sec. You believe me, right guys?

          Guys??
      • DrMonkeyLove, on 12/14/2007, -1/+15No. The real question is, "do I want to?" And the answer is of course, "yes". See you in Hell ankle biters!!!
      • tradwolley, on 12/14/2007, -0/+1The sites down right now, so I don't know how many I could take, but does this include zombie children, then it may be of use.
      • krebcycle, on 12/14/2007, -0/+1Finally I will feel safe in my corn fields.
    • sotopheavy, on 12/14/2007, -0/+60I can take a single 5 year old in a fight. My short stumpy arms and lack of swarm experience have let me down yet again.
      • stevedclarke, on 12/14/2007, -0/+75T-Rex, is that you?
        • gglynn07, on 12/14/2007, -0/+12"I have a big head and little arms, I don't think this was a good idea...Master."
    • themastersb, on 12/14/2007, -0/+32I know for a fact I can take on thousands of infants.
      • frankietears, on 12/14/2007, -0/+20I'm just imagining stomping grapes for wine.

        Is that bad?
    • sotopheavy, on 12/14/2007, -1/+13No, the correct answer is "All of them." Every last one.
      • gardogg, on 05/01/2008, -0/+0The real question is how many can Chuck Norris take down?
    • sanman, on 12/14/2007, -2/+11Woo! I can take out at least 2-dozen 5-yr-olds!
      But it's their daemons that cause me the most hassle
      • gglynn07, on 12/14/2007, -6/+4Dugg for a pretty relevant Golden Compass comment....
        • madeingermany, on 12/14/2007, -2/+4dugg down for explaining the obvious
    • chokitofrito, on 12/14/2007, -0/+15my comment won't hold
      http://i2.tinypic.com/85c03gm.png
    • GeForce8800GTX, on 12/14/2007, -0/+23Apparently, I can render 502 in a bad gateway.
    • wildkats74, on 12/14/2007, -1/+1I can beat up 2 5 year olds, and dammit I'm going to now!! confidence++ !!!!
    • MacSuxWindozSux, on 12/14/2007, -0/+3I'm pretty sure you'd lose to 5 year olds at about the same time you'd fatigue from say boxing.
      You're going to one punch KO just about all of them until you can't lift your hands.

      Anyone saying they could take 30 probably could take many more then that.
      • CedEx, on 12/14/2007, -0/+1I suppose you may be right, but you have to consider that 5 year olds will resort to things like Kancho. And then the question might be, "How many Kanchos can you take before you give up?"
        http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kancho
        • MacSuxWindozSux, on 12/15/2007, -0/+1oh god... none... I give up... I yeild! ... I surrender. Please don't let them touch my anus!
    • BoneheadFarker, on 12/14/2007, -2/+1I think class sizes are up to 50 now...
    • NullPolarity, on 12/14/2007, -0/+4I saw the article name and instantly thought of the Endless Melee mode of Super Smash Bros. Melee, with the wire frame characters attacking en masse. Except instead of wire frames, it would be five year olds.
      • Devotia, on 12/14/2007, -0/+3So your strategy would be jumping off cliffs and singing?
    • Chirp08, on 12/14/2007, -1/+1KILLING SPREE!
    • repins, on 12/14/2007, -0/+1would it be considered legal to use one of the 5 year olds as a weapon to hit the other with? or perhaps you could just use a leg or an arm

      sorry....kinda sick...but hey so is this whole question :)
      • slimfingers, on 12/15/2007, -0/+0I think legality went out the window well before I grabbed the five year old child-weapon.
      • gardogg, on 05/01/2008, -0/+0Swinging a child by the ankles like a baseball bat!? That is wrong on so many levels! haha
    • retral, on 12/14/2007, -0/+1Ok.. strictly for the sake of discussion... The following would be my tactic:

      Pick up one of them & start swinging him around helicopter-style. bwahahaha.
    • ItsMyWii, on 12/15/2007, -0/+2I wonder how many Leonidas can take.
    • slimfingers, on 12/15/2007, -0/+028 for me too! No fear of classrooms or birthday parties. But, I'm still going to avoid Chuck-e-Cheese on a Friday night (the skeetballs... the horror)
  • CptBuck, on 12/14/2007, -8/+362I'm under the impression that, if surrounded, the number of five year olds present would reach diminishing returns. Lets say you are completely surrounded by 10 five year olds. There could be 1000 other five year olds beyond them, but they would have no impact on the fight. I think they're underestimating my five year old fighting ability.
    • atdigg, on 12/14/2007, -0/+118you get tired at some point...
      • Pake, on 12/14/2007, -1/+162By then you can just build a wall using their bodies while you rest up.
        • GeonRebirth, on 12/14/2007, -4/+56I love digg!
          • fxspec06, on 12/14/2007, -2/+30.. but you can't make a wall of dead bodies while sitting here on digg
          • Smalldude76, on 12/14/2007, -0/+38We'll see about that, fxspec.
      • DangerMouse9, on 12/14/2007, -1/+13I'd never tire of beating five year olds.
    • dengzhi, on 12/14/2007, -8/+8lets say you beat up the 10 five year olds around you, then aren't there another 10 lined up to fight you?.. you'll eventually lose... they do have an impact on the fight
      • ikillpeoplexx, on 12/14/2007, -0/+12what about the pile up effect?? eventually there will be a impenetrable barrier of 5 year olds you've knocked out.
      • commernie, on 12/14/2007, -0/+1Right. He didn't say he could go on doing it forever. It's obvious there is a finite number of five-year-olds anybody could take on. I think he meant he could take on A LOT.
    • BryanTravers, on 12/14/2007, -0/+129You are the Leonidas of toddler combat.
      • ReelVideo, on 12/14/2007, -0/+15Get them in a small corridor and their numbers will count for nothing!
      • gardogg, on 05/01/2008, -0/+0These two comments just made my day. PRICELESS!!!
    • paulshannon, on 12/14/2007, -0/+49You're thinking 2 dimensionally, they can climb over each other to get you. How many hanging on your legs and ankles would it take to make you off-balance enough to be immobile? Then they swarm you and you're done, Gulliver-style.
      • arjie, on 12/14/2007, -0/+20Maybe you think this is funny. I usually drop some change into the hand of the little kid who stands outside the station. One day when I did that I was swarmed, ***** swarmed by little kids. There were some 6 or 7 of them, and they were hanging off my arms and legs and shoulder and *****. It was super freaky. You think it's funny? It's crazy man, like you have to hold on to your wallet and books and stuff and there are kids hanging all over you. I learnt my lesson, now I only give that kid food if I have any on me. Easy to say you don't have any more of that.

        It also happened to a friend of mine. Then it was funny.
        • Locke2053, on 12/14/2007, -0/+16Where do you live that has gangs of beggar children?
        • xtc46, on 12/14/2007, -0/+8mexico?
        • rojano17, on 12/14/2007, -0/+2Hey, i do live in mexico and let me tell you that has only happened twice and they only got inside the car the second time, so there...
          • Locke2053, on 12/15/2007, -0/+1Mexico and the US were both colonized at about the same time, both by people with western cultures, and both with similarly diverse natural resources. Why does Mexico suck so much ass as to have beggar children crawling into cars, while US children are in school or playing video games? I don't mean to be insulting, I'm just seriously curious. An invisible line south of Texas somehow determines which children will be whiney rich brats, and which will experience unthinkable poverty. That's perplexing.
        • arjie, on 12/15/2007, -0/+1Locke: Madras, India. I encountered this bunch at the Tambaram Railway Station.

          Everyone: How come some people can answer one level deeper than I can? The reply bars don't show up at all.
      • ggacid, on 12/14/2007, -0/+3Especially when those ***** are biting you! You could knock em' down for the next wave but they're still on the ground grabbing & biting..

        My strategy would be to grab one kid and spin him in circles taking out as many as I could until that didn't work, then you just have to run and fight while running around..
        • ClaudiuUSA, on 12/14/2007, -0/+3I don't think they're zombies . . .
        • gardogg, on 05/01/2008, -0/+0You'd tire quicker running around a lot and lose faster... And swinging a kid in 360 swipes would leave your backside vulnerable, limit vision, and make you suseptible to getting tripped and falling due to serious loss of balance while swinging the 40lb kid...
      • da_bradler, on 12/14/2007, -0/+1ya man if you were fighting fearless 5 year olds that you could not scare away it would take that much, if you could keep your distance you could most likely take down a couple dozen, but if they started in a circle say with a radius of 6 feet, you'd be *****, i'd say 10 could get you to the ground easy, but I dunno they'd have to really whale on you for a while to knock out a full sized adult.
    • sotopheavy, on 12/14/2007, -14/+1Do we get a hammer? Pepper spray?
      • alexforcefive, on 12/14/2007, -0/+10No weapons dude, it's on the first page
    • eatmorgnome, on 12/14/2007, -5/+2You fail large crowds. If the 1000 kids all rushed you, you'd feel the effect of more than 10.
    • lateralminded, on 12/14/2007, -3/+6Your viewing too much 300-Sparta...
      • adidax, on 12/14/2007, -0/+7Tonight! We dine in McDonalds!
        • gardogg, on 05/01/2008, -0/+0OMG I'm laughing my ass off at this adidax!
    • PeanutCheeseBar, on 12/14/2007, -0/+7Well, if he took them on in an enclosed or narrow passageway (such as a school hallway), I think his chances in the fight would significantly improve, as the area would be a bottleneck (and thus restrict the bum rush of five year olds actually able to reach him).
      • elsagacious, on 12/14/2007, -0/+1The stipulation was that it's in a large room like a basketball court.
      • Zezza, on 12/14/2007, -0/+7Then he would funnel them into the hot pass, where there numbers count for nothing.
        • AC130Spectre, on 12/14/2007, -0/+0I believe 'Hot Gates' is what you were looking for...
    • Herostratus, on 12/14/2007, -0/+4You obviously have never babysat. I have 3 younger sisters. 5 Year olds know how to gang up. Incidentally I scored 31.
      • kevxross, on 12/14/2007, -1/+24On this quiz or while you were babysitting?
    • jestrella, on 12/14/2007, -0/+1I would take my physical resistance as the primary source of failure. At some point i will get tired, that could be because i sit on my ass all day or it could be because knocking a kid unconscious would require punching them right every hit, or my hands would break. And if you are considering that the "rush" will help you ignore the pain, at some point you would be more conscious about your body than the environment.
    • da_bradler, on 12/14/2007, -0/+2I mean it depends, like could you get the five year olds to rout? I mean if you could scare the ones at the front enough to rout the entire army you could use there numbers against them, the ensuing stampede would cause hundreds of fatality's
    • epuiatti, on 12/14/2007, -0/+1If you go into the corner of the court (WITHOUT touching the walls) you will allways have them facing you and just keep delivering headshots to the temple with a size 12 Timberland boot. That would be my way at least. Also beating a couple to death and spewing guts everywhere might scare some of the others into surrendering THEN you strike... Jesus i sound like Freddy Krueger *Muahahahahahahah*
  • Oatmeal, on 12/14/2007, -0/+181Here's the original forum post that this idea came from:
    http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showflat.php?Cat ...

    Good drunken debate from a few nights ago.
    The question: How many 5 year-olds could you take on at once?
    The specifics:
    - You are in an enclosed area, roughly the size of a basketball court. There are no foreign objects.
    - You are not allowed to touch a wall.
    - When you are knocked unconscious, you lose. When they are all knocked unconscious, they lose. Once a kid is knocked unconscious, that kid is "out."
    - I (or someone else intent on seeing to it you fail) get to choose the kids from a pool that is twice the size of your magic number. The pool will be 50/50 in terms of gender and will have no discernable abnormalities in terms of demographics, other than they are all healthy Americans.
    - The kids receive one day of training from hand-to-hand combat experts who will train them specifically to team up to take down one adult. You will receive one hour of "counter-tactics" training.
    - There is no protective padding for any combatant other than the standard-issue cup.
    * The kids are motivated enough to not get scared, regardless of the bloodshed. Even the very last one will give it his/her best to take you down.
    • filemeaway, on 12/14/2007, -57/+1You're a monster.
    • aukxsona, on 12/14/2007, -0/+32Sounds like my job.
      • dinostabOMG, on 12/14/2007, -0/+25Kindergarten teacher?
      • AC130Spectre, on 12/14/2007, -1/+2John Kimble is that you?
      • rojano17, on 12/14/2007, -0/+4Kindergarden Cop?
      • homer420032003, on 12/14/2007, -1/+1Eric Cartman?
      • aukxsona, on 12/16/2007, -0/+1Mom with back to back pregnancies for five years. Oh yeah 5 YEARS being pregnant YEAH!
    • whoamarcos, on 12/14/2007, -28/+13the key term here is healthy AMERICANS.

      we've got the fattest and laziest kids around. so i think it'd be safe to assume most of us would be ok to take out at least a dozen of em before one eventually took a bite out of a major nerve center
      • zeeky, on 12/14/2007, -1/+16the key term is healthy
        • volonix, on 12/14/2007, -12/+3Oxymoron of the day: Healthy Americans.
      • dinostabOMG, on 12/14/2007, -1/+5They'd be pretty well-padded, I guess. So you might get tired wailing on that for a while.
      • jumblies, on 12/14/2007, -2/+1Yawn. Go Ron Paul, Apple Rules, Fatties Suck, America is weak. Yay.
    • sotopheavy, on 12/14/2007, -0/+49This should be the first truly virtual reality game they make. Kind of like hello world for programmers and the teapot for 3D computer modelers.
      • gardogg, on 05/01/2008, -0/+0Can you imagine the outrage though? You though GTA had a negative response!? This would cause turmoil!
    • Tanktunker, on 12/14/2007, -2/+4I saw this question several years ago in the kingdom of loathing forums, so no.
    • cristianorem, on 12/14/2007, -0/+7I saw it before tanktunker did on the SA forums - also before anybody else that comes along
    • bzaks, on 12/14/2007, -0/+7Does anyone see this as like ... "28 Days Later" only instead of adults, its kids attacking all the time?
      • freshyill, on 12/14/2007, -0/+1I see that as an interesting twist... imagine the kids as infected zombie kids, then how many could you take in a fight. If you get infected, you lose.
        • DangerMouse9, on 12/14/2007, -0/+1Well, then you're on a rooftop with a sniper rifle and they're on the ground. You can't say "how long can you survive in a room full of five year olds where one drop of their blood/saliva/etc touches anywhere on you, you lose.

          Basically, you just pick up a kid, hold him by the neck and swing him around so he knocks everyone else out.

          Now I want to have someone hack/mod Dead Rising and replace the zombies with little kids.
          • jpmoney03, on 12/14/2007, -0/+3I am thinking it would be better to grab by the feet. I am pretty damn sure I could get a better grip that way and the head is gonna do a lot more damage than the feet. I guess the arms would hit first that way but if they get past the arms there is more mass farther out still with grabbing the feet.
          • BA0BAB, on 12/14/2007, -0/+1nuke em from orbit? http://www.hardcorepawn.com/zombie3/
    • bunjamins, on 12/14/2007, -0/+3SA forum June 2003
    • dimsumx, on 12/14/2007, -0/+8You can also factor in 5 year old mentality too...pick one specific kid and be brutally vicious - the rest of them would probably crap their pants. :)
    • da_bradler, on 12/14/2007, -0/+7it's weird I had the same debate... although I'm a nerd so it was "how many level ones would it take to take down a level seventy you think?"
    • retral, on 12/14/2007, -0/+1I'd probably grab the first one by the ankles and start swinging. :P
  • argoff, on 12/14/2007, -2/+159I actually saw this happen in Juarez once. Some huge buff body builder guy I guess got taken by a kid pick pocketer. When I turned around he was chasing after the kid screaming like he was going to break the kids neck and kill him. Then all of a sudden, dozens and dozens of kids came out of nowhere and started throwing rocks, and the guy started running scared. I got out of there quick.
    • bot001220, on 12/14/2007, -1/+167Those weren't kids. They were Mexican midget wrestlers. Juarez is infested with them.
    • skyfire1, on 12/14/2007, -1/+108It doesn't matter how big you are. If someone throws a rock at you, get the ***** out. All those countless bicep curls don't make your skull any thicker.
      • DangerMouse9, on 12/14/2007, -2/+10you forgot to add "No pun intended"
      • darling, on 12/14/2007, -1/+1Nope, you've gotta do skull-crushers...
    • donjuan571, on 12/14/2007, -1/+11Nothin like some good old fun in Juarez
    • tahcoboy, on 12/14/2007, -1/+3Are we talking about jtown Mexico?
    • Naughtyme, on 12/14/2007, -4/+33I got in one lil fight and my mom got scared
      She said 'You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in bel Air' ?
      • Altoidsxcore1, on 12/14/2007, -7/+3So I whistled for a cab and when it got near
        The license plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror
        If anything I could say that this cab was rare
        But I though, "Nah, forget it. Yo Homes, to Bel Air!
    • AceTracer, on 12/14/2007, -0/+23I saw "Hostel" too.
    • Twisty, on 12/14/2007, -0/+4Oliver Twist?
    • diggerphelps, on 12/14/2007, -1/+1The rules clearly state 'no foreign objects' so this anecdote is moot and void.
      (but the first reply is still fugging hilarious)
    • jonpotz, on 12/14/2007, -1/+1WaReZ
    • drakethegreat, on 12/14/2007, -1/+2Kids through rocks at my car once when I was driving by. Of course this was a brand new car... So apparently unexpected by them, I 180ed it and drove after them as they were running. Chased them down on foot and cornered a few. Then asked them if their moms knew they what they were doing. Of course they denied it and I didn't want to hurt them since in lawsuit America that would be bad. I was in the end angry because really I had no recourse except wait for their parents to show up (if they ever did) and then their parents would probably just think I'm some creepy weirdo threatening them...

      If this was my world I would of broken their arms but of course thats illegal.

Shot him twice in the chest once in the head execution style. Those crazy South American 5 year olds!!!! /sarcasm
    • nathanbutnet, on 12/14/2007, -0/+0Agreed. I would knock one kid out and grab his foot and use him a whirly bird fashion.
  • Spamcan, on 12/14/2007, -7/+295I got 28 but I think that's a bit low. It'd be pretty easy to knock a kid out and swing them around your head like a dead cat eventually knocking out like at least 6 kids. Once they're on the ground it's fairly easy to snap their necks, and kids are pretty dumb so I'm willing to bet I could get away with that at least twice before I had to switch tactics and start backing them against a wall and taking them out with carefully timed elbow thrusts and nut kicks. I'm guessing I could take out at least 25 of the little ***** before I even broke a sweat, and probably end up with a total kill count around 40 or so.

    • TuxedoMax, on 12/14/2007, -1/+22everyone has a cup, so nut kicks won't be that effective. Consider kneeing them in the head or solar plexus instead.
      • BryanTravers, on 12/14/2007, -0/+40I'm almost positive that if a grown person kicked a child wearing a cup, it wouldn't matter. Let's assume for a minute that a cup would somehow protect a toddler against a thunderous front kick, I still think you'd have enough power that it'd wind up being a punt at the very least.
        • gutistg, on 12/14/2007, -3/+1Thunderous? You think pretty highly of yourself.
    • 1ns0mn1ac, on 12/14/2007, -1/+53It sounds like you need to move up to 9 year olds. They're tough. I had one take me down a couple years ago.
      I remember it like it was yesterday. It was at my grandmother's annual Easter egg hunt. You see, I got all excited about finding all that candy, but I was informed that all of the eggs were for my younger cousins. Well, I really wanted that candy and I'm bigger than my cousins, so I just took it from them. What are they gonna do about it?
      Well, I soon found out. My nine year old cousin, Danny, kept whining to me to give him his candy back. I told him that if he could get it out of my hand, he could have it back. He spent awhile trying to pry it out of my hand and digging his nails into my wrist, but to no avail. Unfortunately, he was much more resourceful than I expected. "I know!" he exclaimed. Then he wound up and punched me square in the family jewels. I fell to the ground, writhing in pain, and Danny picked up his candy and casually walked away.
      So, if you no longer find massacring 5 year olds to be a challenge, move up to 9 year olds. They're stronger and smarter.
      As you move up the ranks, heed this piece of advice: do not underestimate your opponents. Hubris lead to my downfall; be sure to learn from my mistake.
      • leetdood, on 12/14/2007, -0/+14"Hubris lead to my downfall," So you didn't completely beat his ass 15 minutes later?

    • nedev, on 12/14/2007, -5/+14Uhm.. Spamacan? the article only said "knocking out". No necksnapping five year olds was mentioned. Just putting that out there.
      • Netrilix, on 12/14/2007, -0/+40Hey, it didn't say you COULDN'T snap necks...
    • FreeBadAdvice, on 12/14/2007, -0/+51Your nut kicks and elbow thrusts comments almost made me cover my monitor is soda. I got an image of an adult kicking a kid in the daddy sack and the kid rockets upwards to the adult's head level... because he weighs so little... then elbowing the kid in the face for the finisher. I'm terrible, I know. Rest assured, I never had this thought until I read Spamcan's reply.
    • wylfing, on 12/14/2007, -2/+6FreeBadAdvice, you have to imagine that with slow-mo effects like in 300.
      • FreeBadAdvice, on 12/14/2007, -4/+0I was picturing something fast like the Benny Hill show, with the yakety sax theme song, but I like your idea better. Slow-mo effects of the rocketing nut blaster, ahem ©, followed by an elbow to the dome, which leads to the head exploding into ludicrous gibs (ROTT anyone?), would in fact be much better!

    • da_bradler, on 12/14/2007, -0/+1it all depends on where the 5 year olds start, if they start like a couple dozen feet away from you, you could run up and pick them off while they were spread out then just mow threw them, but if they started in a circle like 6 feet away from you they would swarm pretty quick, I mean they did the same thing on t.v with midgets and like 5 midgets took down a full sized body builder pretty quick.
    • chijim70, on 12/14/2007, -0/+1My thoughts were more of playing hacky sack. I'm pretty good too. If you were just kicking kids in the head which for sure would result in neck snaps and paralysis you could probably be winning as long as you could hacky sack. I've gotten fairly sore after about 4-5 hours playing without breaks so you figure that's a serious boatload of dead or paralyzed 5 year olds. You probably wouldn't even need that much strength so this wouldn't be so exhausting as I think a lot of people make it out to be. If a person could run a jack hammer for 8 hours as a job (I did that for a bit when younger) you could certainly take out at least 100's with a similar amount of energy. You figure after a bit you'd have a wall of corpses so they'd be coming over that wall more from above. So they'd have the high ground for a bit. At that point I'd be utilizing the grab/spike/stomp technic until I was on my own mound of corpse then proceed with hackying to build another wall and repeat the cycle. I'd of course first off get my back to a corner of the room. That's key.
      This is just dying to be made into a gory japanamation flick. If they can make a movie with a giant demon with a 100 dicks and a little girl on each (can't recall the name but sheesh, I was watching this thinking "get the ***** out of here, no way!") they can make a 5 year old ultimate death match movie.
    • Locke2053, on 12/14/2007, -0/+3It sounds easy until you actually try to swing sixty pounds of meat around. Once you get spinning, there is so much momentum, you can't really control it. And you can't swing one-handed, so you have to hold with both hands, causing a full-body spin. You would get too dizzy to fight after a few revolutions.

      Trying to swing a kid just isn't going to help you at all. Next time you are at the gym, give a large dumbbell a few spins. You'll see what I mean.
  • JimSartor, on 12/14/2007, -14/+68I am pretty sure if the whole world was full of five year olds I could kill them all before they had time to breed . . . lemme explain. OK, first of all, the survey ignores the fact that I drive. As long as I have a place to fill up for gas, I figure I am safe. Also, assuming the average 5 year old takes about 2 naps a day and sleep 12 hours, I would have ample time to take many of them out at night after my full 8 hours of rest inside of my car. It's science really . . . for example, I would probably try to find a vehicle with large tires, about a 2 foot clearance and plenty of torque so I would get caught up on all the bodies . . . A humvee would do nicely.

    • moocow1452, on 12/14/2007, -0/+2Not much, apparently.
  • vinolencia, on 12/14/2007, -2/+12Not to rehash the years-long argument from two-plus-two, but there are several points you have to take into account.

    The first being fatigue. As someone already noted, sure, tossing kids/using them as swords is fine and dandy, but that's like wielding 80lb wiggling gear.

    Also, the kids are supposed to get half a day of preparation, nor do they get "scared" after they see their peers go down. If you're a male, obviously they're going to be strategic in their attacking.

    And sure, there's a limited amount of 5-year olds that can be attacking you at once... get into a corner and only take a 1/4 of what you would encounter if you were out in the open. But I'd have to say that we forget that these kids will push on you, with the weight of however many are being this front line, more or less disabling your reach and making you prone to stealth kidney and testicle shots. I got 30, and think that's even a stretch.
    • CaptPlanet, on 12/14/2007, -0/+8Remember that EVERYONE gets a cup, even you. Testicle shots wouldn't be as much of a problem.
    • dinostabOMG, on 12/14/2007, -1/+1Plus you're way overestimating the weight of a five-year old.
      Check this out: http://www.halls.md/chart/child-growth/pediatric.h ...

      My guess is that the website is asking the right questions, but way underestimating. Personally I think the only thing that would stop most people is getting bored of how easy it is and just leaving.

      The trick is to stay moving and stay on your feet. You can out-run them and out-think them and are taller than them. There's very little they can do to disable you without access to your head.

      If you've ever had a kid grab hold of your leg, you'll understand that it won't take many dedicated little kids to knock you down.

    This, my friends, is the single biggest threat this society faces today... and let my landmark this occasion by not fretting the loathsome times to come. Nay! I say we mark this occasion with preemptive decrees and mandates, labeling these obese 5 year olds that will soon rue the day of their fat toes exited their equally large mother and proclaim them to all be terrorists. That's right... you heard me, we're doing the good work and taking out little terrorists.

Every direct blow you land would just glance off only opening a few festering pimples.

      I guess the negatives of a fight like that are obvious. One positive might be that a greasy fat kid wont find it easy to stay on his feet. Of course they could always just slide around on their bellies and gnaw at your ankles, hmmm...

  • theferno, on 12/14/2007, -9/+2Do you have any experience fighting swarms, such as being chased by a bunch of pissed-off bees or playing starcraft against the Zerg?

    LMAO
  • laterthandawn, on 12/14/2007, -2/+20That site has been officially Diggled.

    Either that, or it's so awesome that it takes 5+ minutes to load.

    What a shame. I'm dropping off my little sister at school tomorrow, and would love to have a sense of my odds should an altercation arise.
    • SirDistic, on 12/14/2007, -1/+6It's a retro page. It emulates dial-up.
      Do give it a minute though, it's worth it.
    • Steroblo, on 12/14/2007, -0/+0If you wrote this eight hours ago, tomorrow is Saturday. You liar. Either that or you'll be fighting a lot of angry Jon Bender type of five year olds who are stuck at Saturday school all day.
      • Altoidsxcore1, on 12/14/2007, -0/+1The time stamps are messed up on digg currently, I have replies that have been posted longer than the original comments.
  • dengzhi, on 12/14/2007, -8/+2You could take on 30 five year old kids in a fight.

  • phlebitis, on 12/14/2007, -6/+1I think they overestimate. They never asked "how fast can you run a mile?."
    If you knock out one kid every ten seconds, thats six kids a minute. I'm willing to bet that most of you couldn't last much more than two minutes at that pace.
    Kids have rubbery skulls, and not much weight holding them in place so they would bounce away and jump back. It would probably take two or more hits to put them out of the game.
    • SirDistic, on 12/14/2007, -0/+2At 6 kids/pm, I'd guess that would make it on average, a 6 minute fight. And also, while they are resilient by nature, we're be pretty safe to assume they'd be whiny little buggers. That's a distraction that's well worth you taking advantage. Take them out while their eyes are masked by salty tears!
      • mitchlourens, on 12/14/2007, -0/+3hahaha, we've created a new measure of speed.
    • mikemil828, on 12/14/2007, -0/+7If you are decently trained, it shouldn't be a problem to take out one every two seconds. Just grab em by the head and knee em in the face, they'll be out faster than you can say 'concussion'.
      • Hypermarkalan, on 12/14/2007, -0/+1My first instinct is to agree with that, but I don't know. You ever watch a kid take a nasty tumble, and he doesn't know you're watching, and he just gets right back up? If we're agreeing that they are no longer intimidated or scared by seeing their buddies go down, then we're obviously saying that the typical mental roadblocks for children do not apply. Hence, they no longer respond to matronly cues and overreact to physical damage. I'd agree with sfrench, in that I'd start breaking legs. Their skulls just aren't developed enough to guarantee that headshots would count.
    • sfrench, on 12/14/2007, -0/+1I think the key to success is reducing mobility (break some legs, or take out some knees) if you can't get an easy knockout. Also I would avoid trying to lift any kid since that is a wasteful expenditure of energy with very little benefit.

      There is no 5 year old that's going to be able to get a headshot in on me since I'm 6'4", so I'm pretty confident they won't knock me out unless I bend down. So like the poster above, I would rely on my knees to do the brunt of my dirty work. The site in question set my magic number at 36 and it seems pretty reasonable.
  • jakwgrav, on 12/14/2007, -5/+20This seems to be based off this article:
    http://www.mcsweeneys.net/2005/4/8schweiger.html

    One of the funniest articles i've ever read.
    • mattcoady, on 12/14/2007, -5/+2Beat me to it (pun intented).
    • krc1, on 12/14/2007, -0/+4But it's not. McSweeneys article came out 4/8/05, the 2 plus 2 forum post was 1/17/05.
      • Lou3000, on 12/14/2007, -0/+1But the McSweeneys article is funnier.
  • pyro789x, on 12/14/2007, -16/+2What is it about sites like this that makes everybody seem to think that they should post what their result was. It's amazing how little I care about what your score was, do you actually have anything interesting/funny/insightful/profound/inspired to say? If not, don't bother posting.
  • jgrahamda, on 12/14/2007, -1/+5damn they blew the twist to i am legend where he takes out all the 5 year olds at the end
  • Alkivar, on 12/14/2007, -5/+2I got 31... not too bad... but i'm thinking it'd be closer to 35.
  • Snazz, on 12/14/2007, -14/+3Seriously, I wish people would stop posting these ***** poll posts as they're always broken after the 10th person has been there, ditto with the images and videos.
    • apec766, on 12/14/2007, -0/+5Seriously, I wish people would stop being whiny little bitches.
  • victorguttmann, on 12/14/2007, -8/+231. WHOS YOUR DADDY KIDS???!?! WHOS YOUR DADDY?!?!?
    • dengzhi, on 12/14/2007, -1/+3I am your father.
    • drunkinbda, on 12/14/2007, -0/+1lol 31 unknown adults that's gonan be chasin you down when the kids are toast. although in this day in age its prob more like 10 pissed off daddys and 21 saing thank god someone put them in their place!
      • IglooBurner, on 12/14/2007, -0/+0i'd say 62 because it takes 2 adults to make every kid. unless if some of the 31 kids have common adults. than the number can be as little as... 2.
  • hyperblackchi, on 12/14/2007, -1/+15Ach! Save me from the wee turtles!
    • Smalldude76, on 12/14/2007, -5/+1You watch Stargate Atlantis, don't you.
  • shiv68, on 12/14/2007, -6/+2
    I can beat 2! Feel my wrath!
  • Darksoul, on 12/14/2007, -8/+2Seriously they forget how weak and how young these kids are the first time you hit the little bastard he would be bleeding or dead and that would freak them out. At that age everything scares them. They are kids I could sit on a corner resting and taking small swings and kick them and beat them all with no effort.

    Plus of course id cheat and yell I am cutting your tv time off. Game over I win.
  • pimpofpixels, on 12/14/2007, -3/+12Now, where am I going to find 22 5 year olds in order to test the conclusion?
  • wipis, on 12/14/2007, -4/+2Only 25 but I really think I could take down more. I held back on the moral questions.
  • Zaggynl, on 12/14/2007, -3/+28"Do you have any experience fighting swarms, such as being chased by a bunch of pissed-off bees or playing starcraft against the Zerg"

    OFCOURSE I HAVE!
    • dengzhi, on 12/14/2007, -5/+2I own at BW and SC.
    • simplistics06, on 12/14/2007, -1/+3its simple just use reavers
    • landyl, on 12/14/2007, -1/+1ZERG RUSH!!!!
    • Herostratus, on 12/14/2007, -3/+1Ling rush is easy to def against. Bunkers for humans with 3 rines and 1 flame each, Zeal rush for toss and mass sunken for zerg. Thats how I start every game since I got sick of being ling rushed. Now I mass hydra and spam em to hell with some lurkers for drops. Ling rush is so noob. Or Dark Templar rush for toss. Or siege and mass rines or gols for human till I have air full tech. Then its all Battlecruisers. Pwnage!
      • TubaTechno, on 12/14/2007, -0/+1Ling rush usually starts early enough in the game where you won't already have an academy for flame-throwers and sometimes not even bunkers. Have you even played against a good ling rusher?
        • Herostratus, on 12/15/2007, -0/+1Yeah I have played so many games I cant even begin to count. Flame usually isnt ready for the faster rushers but I'm fast at getting the flames too.
      • alclone, on 12/15/2007, -0/+0anything under an 8 pool would completely crush that D fyi
        • Herostratus, on 12/15/2007, -0/+1I usually have 4 bunkers surrounding my main with 2 next to the mineral trust me it survives the rush
  • 1town, on 12/14/2007, -4/+626.. i dunno, i've seen some mean 5 year olds in my hood.
