I love it when people have "who would win in a fight" conversations. You know the kind - "Who would win in a fight between Robocop and the Terminator?" or "Who would win a fight between Peewee Herman and Gilligan?" Etc... But something that is always laking in those conversations is a proper, quantifiable, measurement of how much of a "bad-ass" someone or something is. Toward that end - here is Suncrafter's BAQ (Bad Ass Quotient) System: Fire Ant -------------------------------------------- BAQ = 1 Sewer Rat ----------------------------------------- BAQ = 10 Chiwawa ------------------------------------------- BAQ = 100 Drunk Redneck armed with a pool cue ---------- BAQ = 1,000 Green Beret armed with a machete -------------- BAQ = 10,000 Silverback Gorilla ----------------------------------- BAQ = 100,000 Black Rhino ------------------------------------------ BAQ = 1,000,000 Tyrannosaurus Rex ---------------------------------- BAQ = 10,000,000 It would take about 10 fire ants to evenly fight 1 sewer rat. It would take about 10 sewer rats to evenly fight 1 Chiwawa. It would take about 10 Chiwawas to evenly fight 1 drunk redneck armed with a pool cue. ETC... Now we have a scale on which we can use to measure the "Bad-a**ness" of almost anyone or anything! Here are just a few examples (the compleate list can be found here http://www.normandcompany.com/INDEX/BAQ.html): Butterfly ================================================= 0 BAQ Honey Bee =============================================== 1 BAQ Fire Ant ------------------------------------------------------------- 1 BAQ Wasp =================================================== 3 BAQ Hermit Crab =============================================== 4 BAQ Smurf =================================================== 5 BAQ Gerbil =================================================== 5 BAQ Tarantula ================================================= 7 BAQ Sewer Rat ---------------------------------------------------------- 10 BAQ Rabbit ================================================== 35 BAQ Vampire Bat ============================================== 49 BAQ Rooster (unarmed) ========================================== 79 BAQ Squirrel ================================================== 81 BAQ House Cat ================================================ 88 BAQ Lobster ================================================== 90 BAQ Chiwawa ---------------------------------------------------- 100 BAQ Rooster (armed with cock-fighting spurs) ========================== 102 BAQ Three Year Old Girl ========================================= 115 BAQ Kermit the Frog ============================================ 167 BAQ Barny the Dinosaur ========================================== 202 BAQ Possum ================================================== 287 BAQ Munchkin - from "Wizard of Oz" ================================= 289 BAQ Gilligan =================================================== 306 BAQ Oompa Loompa - from "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" ============== 308 BAQ Badger =================================================== 331 BAQ Cookie Monster ============================================= 410 BAQ Barn Owl ================================================== 421 BAQ Peewee Herman ============================================= 422 BAQ 3PCO - from "Star Wars" ======================================= 449 BAQ Crack Whore ================================================ 550 BAQ Zombie ==================================================== 749 BAQ Average Human ============================================== 755 BAQ Dr. Evil - from Austen Powers movies (unarmed) ======================= 804 BAQ Booger - from "Revenge of the Nerds" =============================== 817 BAQ Woopi Goldburge ============================================= 831 BAQ Howard Stern ================================================ 852 BAQ Hawkeye Pierce - from the tv show "M.A.S.H." ======================== 856 BAQ Rush Limbaugh =============================================== 998 BAQ Drunk Redneck armed with a pool cue ---------------------- 1,000 BAQ George W.

The first sentence was alright but when the page kept going on and on you lost my attention - the saying "less is more" really suits your thread LOL..., sorry!
Mal or Wash from Firefly. If you've never heard of the series I'd recommend checking it out. It's directed by Joss Whedon if you're interested.
