***Worlds Hardest Creature VIII Group C PLAY OFF***

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

After two days of slugging it out we have a tie for the fourth and final qualifying berth in Group C. We are thus going to have a head to head PLAY OFF to see who makes it through to the knock out stages. You have 24 hours to vote.

So, lets meet the combatants:

In the blue corner weighing in at anywhere from 120 grams to 1.75 kilos, a scavenger who will eat pretty much anything, a beast who can attack on land, at sea or in the air, found on every continent on Earth....it's the...

SEAGULL

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gull

And in the red corner, weighing in at not a lot, its Japan's biggest animal killer of Humans(after humans themselves), a beast so strong it can take out 40 European honey bees in a minute, a beast that doesn't just kill its bee foe-it dismembers it and carries the thorax back to its young for food, leaving the head and limbs on the battle ground, it is....
The....

Japanese Giant Hornet

The hornet is liable to overheat whilst attacking. Thats not hard at all.

 

[BBassic]

Seagull. Has to be.

No animal could lend its name to our team without being tough as nails.

 

[Hillian1]

Nails.

 

[Bold Seagull]

Not sure I can vote for the flying rat….

If this was football then of course it would be a walkover. Seagulls v Hornets. A 100% victory. But this isn't football it's WHC. Eight. I'm here to tell you that pound for pound not only is the hornet HARDER but also less ANNOYING. When did a Japanese Giant Hornet ever wake you up at 4am with its stupid SQUAWKING? When did you ever have to clean impossible (and smelly) hornet POO off your car? OK so they dive bomb humans but only to get ice cream which makes them greedy fat SLICES or to protect their really STUPID offspring who's about to wander underneath a Ford Focus. Killers they are not. They are just an annoyance like someone buying you a half and half scarf or supergluing a fiver to a fridge.

The Seagull wakes you up because it's spoiling for a FIGHT. They're so hard they don't NEED to kill you - they'll just keep winding you up and nicking chips when you're looking the other way, distracted by its mate who is going to get the regurgitated spoils later.

The Seagull is the ONLY winner of this contest, which in true Chris Kamara fashion, could go either way!

The seagull would eat the hornet. End of competition.

 

[The Wizard]

The seagull would eat the hornet. End of competition.

This. The hornet is not hard, they sting mostly in defence & let's be honest a sting isn't exactly hard is it?

Seagulls are aggressive beasts. Aggression against stronger foes means the seagull should take this.

 

[Guinness Boy]

The seagull would eat the hornet. End of competition.

Not if it had suffered one of the hornet's DEATH STINGS.

 

[MattBackHome]

The seagull would eat the hornet. End of competition.

The hornet would sting the seagull to death from inside the beak. Both die, but the seagull watching thinks long and hard before eating another hornet.

 

[Pantani]

This is a sad day for the WHC, the seagull is not even remotely hard. They steal stuff then run (fly) away as fast as their wings can carry them. In fact the Brighton based Seagull is now so soft it won't go to the effort of catching a fish, killing and eating it; but would rather rummage around in the bins once everyone else has gone to bed. It is the animal equivalent of a dolewaller ordering take away for dinner every day, and that is not even remotely hard.

Hang your heads in shame if you have voted for the seagull.

Dunno, there was something in the name that rang a bell.

Did you nominate the insect then?

What? 30 hornets kill 1,000 bees EACH:

This sting ain't no defence! 30 attack 30,000, and win.

As for those making the ridiculous argument that a Seagull would eat a Hornet - the WHC is POUND FOR POUND*. Compare a seagull with a seagull-sized hornet. It would be over in less than 5 seconds.

*If it wasn't, surely this would just be the World's Biggest Creature competition, and the whale would win every time?

 

[jackanada]

As long as the Tabby Cat is still in the competition I have no shame in voting for the Seagull.

Further lets not get overly hung up on pound for pound, otherwise diddly insects would win all the time if you just scaled up their strength, but you know what actually happens when you scale up insects? They die, their whole getting oxygen through spiracles schtick just doesnt work. They can't be any bigger.

You know whats not hard? Rolling on the ground choking to death because you can't breathe. Sorry insects you're just not hard.

 

[Mowgli37]

Seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeagull.

Seconds away round 1. Ding Ding. The seagull is already in place in the blue (and white) corner, the mythical seagull-sized hornet pops into existence in the red corner. The seagull cocks a quizzical beak towards its opponent which promptly drops to the floor and dies because its respiratory system will not fuction at that scale. The seagull waddles over and confirms its victory by stabbing the hornet with its beak and tossing it up and down until some tasty goo falls out.

As I say, what's the alternative then? Biggest animal wins, simple as that? What a FARCE this competition would be if that was how it worked.
