CAVEMAN VS. ASTRONAUT

An all-out fight to the death! Place your bets!

Here are the rules: both combatants are completely unarmed, and there is no outside help. And as a note, just because the caveman in the picture has weapons, does not mean the caveman in the actual fight does, the dog and woman (?) in the background are not fighting or helping, and the astronaut does not have his special little spacesuit in the fight.

And as a note, just because the caveman in the picture has weapons, does not mean the caveman in the actual fight does, and the astronaut would not have his special little spacesuit.

So it's basically a Caveman vs. a man who is trained to be an astronaut.

I definitely vote for the caveman. These guys make a point of not getting eaten by sabertooth tigers and trampled by mammoths while still killing them. Granted they use weapons to kill them, but bringing it back to a man-on-man battle. No weapons would not be an issue for the Caveman against a man.

Astronauts train for years to be physically fit, cavemen 'train' thier whole lives. Caveman wins.

This ep aired a month or so ago in Australia. I assumed you guys would've been well ahead of us by now.

Though I do agree with everyone that the astronaut should have a gun.

I say the Astronaut wins, because these guys are basically Scientists, and so the Astronaut can repeatedly analyse the situation using big long descriptive vocabulary, bemusing the Caveman so much that he falls asleep or evolves into a sophisticated human being that refuses to act so primative and fight a fellow man.

And if all else fails, remember that the human race is constantly growing taller, so that caveman must be at most 5 feet tall, in which case having no chance against a 6 feet tall Astronaut.

Don't forget though, that the debate is really a metaphore of what is a more powerful force for crushing demons; a sophisticated modern man or a man fueled by rage and aggression.

Or Vampire, as the case happend to be.

Caveman is:

a ) nasty.
b ) brutish.
c ) short.

Astronaut is:

a ) well-trained and fit, more than any caveman could be, having endured physical and psychological training to prepare him for an elite and occasionally physical job. caveman on the hand spend most of his life crawling and hiding, and yes, occasionally ganging up on a cow.
b ) better-nourished and taller than the caveman, who is constantly starving.
c ) well-groomed, with no disadvantageus clumps of hair to grab on to.
d ) well-aware that the caveman will fight to the death.


Astronaut wins!

[der Mudda]

Caveman wins. He has a woman and a dog, even though they are not participating in the fight he has their emotional support.

He could always go for the astronaut's kneecaps (being so much shorter)!

[Chyld]

Caveman. Cos they're 'ard.

I know, I just couldn't resist asking.




"Cave men win. Of course the cave men win."

Thats good and all, but can you actually post your vote on the poll? I look like I'm the only astronaut loving loser here

Not quite so fun when you're losing, now, is it?

Very easily misread, and a lot more fun than the above alternative.

I agree with our Mudda.
It will be the caveman. Height won't matter. It will come down to desperation and endurance. A caveman would be used to pain and fear and he would keep going against all odds.
The astronaut would be a pansy compared to the caveman, mincing about in his little space suit.

The caveman wouldn't recoil at the sight of the astronauts blood. He'd revel in it...and the bits of flesh and guts strewn around.
