    ...could you take in a FIGHT?[^] I can take 15. Apparently. Probably not.

    Forget about the past and the future. Discard your fears, your regrets, your inhibitions, your neuroses, your self-importance. Who cares what they think?! The world is so much bigger than this! Wanna have an adventure? Come on, take my hand and hold on tight - I think I know a shortcut.

      Since 15 5 yearolds couldnt actually stand around a person all at the same time throwing punches, this is a ridiculous figure. The limit would always be about 5 or 6 at a time. Also, if a 5 year olds punch had no effect on you there is no limit to the number of 5 year olds you could actually ignore completely and thus not even bother fighting. This is assuming they are 5 year old humans...

        You're assuming that all they're doing is throwing punches at you. They're not. They're piling on top of you and bearing you onto the ground and stomping on you and gouging your eyes out with their tiny fingers. They're not standing around you in an orderly way, waiting for you to thump them. And how does a 5 year olds' punch have no effect on you...?

          A five year olds punch? Dont make me laugh. My daughter is a big 4 year old, its like being hit by a cussion. Anyway, how are the 5 year olds going to pile on top of me at 6 foot 4? They would have to be standing on top of each other twice over to get to me, whereupon they would crush each other.

                Methinks you're taking it a bit too seriously. Having been in a swarm type fight I can tell you that, in reality, you only have to deal with about 2 at a time (the rest end up getting in each others way) unless you hit the deck in which case you are probably fucked. Moral of that tale: stay on your feet and keep them in front of you. It also helps if you can run. Fast. BTW: never hit a man when he is down: kick him, it's a hell of a lot easier.

                    20 for me. This cracked me up: Do you have any experience fighting swarms, such as being chased by a bunch of pissed-off bees or playing starcraft against the Zerg? :laugh: :laugh:

                          I think it had more to do with the fact that a professional fighter was knocked over by one kid. And before you point out that he wasn't trying to hurt the kid, or really trying at all, I'd like to point out that he certainly wasn't trying to get knocked over either, and seeing as how sumo is all about balance... Just maybe don't underestimate kids.:cool:

                            He was running backwards in a cricle and fell over! Thats it. The fact that one kid was hanging off his leg (previously three had no effect) is totally irrelevent.

                              I suppose the kid had nothing at all to do with the reason that he was running backwards in a circle?

                                  Why are you pointlessly arguing? He fell over, he wasnt pushed over by the kid. Look, you are a pretty scrawny looking kid yourself, I asked if you still felt like a kid since you stated 'dont underestimate them'.

                                      ...could you take in a FIGHT?[^] I can take 15. Apparently. Probably not.

                                      Forget about the past and the future. Discard your fears, your regrets, your inhibitions, your neuroses, your self-importance. Who cares what they think?! The world is so much bigger than this! Wanna have an adventure? Come on, take my hand and hold on tight - I think I know a shortcut.

                                        Why are you pointlessly arguing? He fell over, he wasnt pushed over by the kid. Look, you are a pretty scrawny looking kid yourself, I asked if you still felt like a kid since you stated 'dont underestimate them'.

                                        Past feelings perhaps?

                                        Thats a question many of us ask about life...

                                        But it was the kid's fault that he fell over!

                                        I AM a pretty scrawny kid. But, I know what you mean now. It confused me for a moment because your interpretation of why I said 'them' was different to my intended one. Anyway, perhaps I do still feel like a kid. That's because I've realised that I don't want to waste it. The Internet has taught me that much at least, that there's plenty of time for being grown-up later, and that there's no need to pretend to be so now. Or maybe it wasn't the Internet at all. Perhaps I concluded that myself....hmm, not sure.

                                          So tripping over while running away from a wasp means the wasp is stong enough to trip you over?

                                          Yep, plenty of time for being a boring old fart later in life.
