Tigers vs Squirrels

[chrisvenus]

I really am not sure how it came up but we've just had a discussion at work about whether tigers or squirrels would win a fight. We worked out that to keep in the same weight ranges it would have to be of the order of 500 squirrels vs one tiger.

So who do you think would win and why?

Arguments so far put forward have been

Squirrels can use lightsabers: http://kwc.org/blog/archives/resources/2006/jedi.squirrels.jpg

Tigers can fly spaceships (No image available).


I think this stemmed originally from a Chuck Norris vs Vladimir Putin discussion but it all gets a bit fuzzy...

As an important additional data point, squirrels can eat a dag (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/4489792.stm).

We are perhaps fortunate that Black Squirrels have not yet been introduced to Britain!

And there's as another contribution to the argument there's Ratatosk (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ratatosk) "who runs up and down with messages in the world tree Yggdrasil and spreads gossip. In particular, he ferries insults between the eagle Veðrfölnir at the top of Yggdrasil, and the dragon Níðhöggr beneath its roots".

(Also, on the page linked, how wrong is it for me to think that the artist may not have been drawing a horn?)

I'm assuming this is largely the fault of m'spouse?

She was definitely involved. I really can't remember quite how it started. But i'm pretty sure it was y'spouse and I predominantly with others being dragged in (kicking and screaming). :)

Well I've been playing a lot of WoW recently so I guess it would depend on how well the squirrels could work as a team... and the quality of whichever squirrels were tanking, obviously.

With his epic dex Ratatosk could well take a tiger. Because dex is the win stat.
