GRAY TIMBER WOLF vs BLUE WHALE
Who do you think is the better mammal, the Gray Timber Wolf or the Blue Whale?
Which is your favorite, and why?
Which would dominate in a fight?
Which one would most benefit from wings?
Which do you think would be more a drain on the US health care? (I am predicting Oni will be pro-timber wolf here).
Given that the market for whale's blubber has declined, and the marketing use of a wolf's likeness has increased exponentially at carnivals and tattoo parlors, which animal has more worth or value?
If each were given a million dollars, which would stimulate the economy more? Which would invest more in oversea derivative markets?
Which do you think would be more likely to win in a Republican primary? And would the results be similar in the south and north states?
Which has a higher gay\transgender percentage, and would aquatic nurturing have more of an impact on the whale, and if negligable, which would have a better social net to prevent adolescent suicides?

Re: trololololololol
My questionnaire and your reply reminds me of a Seinfeld episode: George's psychoanalysis into a candidate's soul via an abstract query with no possibility of a wrong answer, none-the-less, resulted in a wrong answer:
GEORGE: (interviewing a kid for the Susan Ross Foundation scholarship) "If you were an animal, what would you be?"
KID: "I don't know. A frog?"
GEORGE: "No. Frog is wrong."

GRAY TIMBER WOLF vs BLUE WHALE

In six-foot-deep water,
Puhlease, unless you want both animals to lose, I don't think that would be particularly sporting to either animal.
I'd think it much fairer to have a home and home series. The first two matches would be in water, because whales have evolved first. The next two in a timber environment. If still a tie, we ramp up the final match's environment to a cave with noxious sulfer gas and both competitors wear masks with corporate identity capes. I see profit potential . . .
Fox television can sponsor. (what can I say?, sex sells!)

Then the whale wins. The series never gets to game three.
Well, the sponsors will only profit if there are more than three games. Sooo, trust me, the wolf WILL win one of the two first games perhaps by forfeit because of a depressant found in the blue whale's blood during the drug-testing. Now you know why they are called "blue" whales.
(Did I mention that Fox News is broadcasting the event?)

Sorry, no substitutions, please stay on topic (else this thread's finely woven tapestry'll unravel).

WOLF vs WHALE
Would the wolf get scuba gear? (Gills could also work) Then the whale could get wings for the forest fight.
Errr, I don't think Fox News would compromise on the integrity of the drama of athletic competition.
( . . . but it will be broadcast during sweeps month . . . sooo . . . )

Re: Wolf: 286; Whale: 0
Gee whiz, everybody seems to be against the whale. I always found the angry whale 'Monstro,' in the movie Pinocchio, to be a bad-ass.
C'mon, a little respect for the whale . . .
The Ribs and Terrors in the Whale
By Herman Melville
The ribs and terrors in the whale,
Arched over me a dismal gloom,
While all God’s sun-lit waves rolled by,
And left me deepening down to doom.
I saw the opening maw of hell,
With endless pains and sorrows there;
Which none but they that feel can tell
Oh, I was plunging to despair.
In black distress, I called my God,
When I could scarce believe him mine,
He bowed his ear to my complaints
No more the whale did me confine.
With speed he flew to my relief,
As on a radiant dolphin borne;
Awful, yet bright, as lightening shone
The face of my Deliverer God.
My song for ever shall record
That terrible, that joyful hour;
I give the glory to my God,
His all the mercy and the power.
