Let it further be resolved
Bear vs Shark (ie, who would win in a fight between a bear and a shark if the fight was staged in a pool of water deep enough for the shark to manouevre, but shallow enough for the bear to be able to stand up) is apparently a subject of controversy among the violence-loving, animal-hating, crap-talking community. I can settle this one.
Bear, by a mile. The shark gets one good bite, maximum, and then gets mullered. Proof. Sigurdur Petursson is by all accounts a reet hard bastard, even by the standards of Icelandic trawlermen, but he is not as strong as a bear.
My cat could shred the both of them into a fine coat and handbag.
ReplyDeleteWussies.
I find Shark vs. Crockodile a much more interesting matchup.

ReplyDeleteYou say that as though you have some other source of information about him.
I;m glad I don't live in a time where you had to pick up a sword and fight a distant ancestor of his.
ReplyDeleteI seem to remember at the time of the story several other wire service reports which covered it quoting other Icelanders to the effect that if they had to back anyone in a straight stand-up fight against a shark in waist-deep water, it would be good old Sigurdur.
ReplyDeleteOK, let no-one deny the Iceman his position among history's very hardest bastards.
ReplyDeleteBut all the same, his shark was 300kg. Great whites can top 2 tonnes. I'm thinking one well-placed bite could seriously incovenience even a big fucking Polar.

ReplyDeleteNow I can't help ranking everyone I know according to this criterion. Also, the entire Cabinet.
