Squirrel Ninjas Vs. Gecko Ninjas

[Hasbinbad]

Who would win in a fight?

[Sono_hito]

Squirrels, they have the teeth and agility.

[Hasbinbad]

Geckos' feet make molecular bonds with whatever surface they walk on.

[jilena]

Squirrels are p beast for things their size. Unless there is like a cat involved or something.

[guineapig]

I have to go with Squirrels on this one. Geckos might have the stealth bit down but once the squirrel ninja gets his hands, er, teeth and claws on the gecko it's over.

Now if the geckos have throwing stars, crossbows and such, it might be another story all together.

ranged weapon + stealth = win

[Excision Rottun]

Whoever wins, we lose!

[jilena]

Not me squirrels would have a hard time making it to my apt!

They are all ninjas, so are allowed to have any weapons a normal ninja would have. Personally, I think gecko ninjas would make best use of poisons and traps, while squirrel ninjas would prefer smoke bombs and those cool spear-heads-on-chains thingies.

So are both squirrel and gecko ninjas.

Shanna beat me to it but we is nerdz. :D

[Minch/FureeZeb]

pretty sure squirrels are a lot more intelligent too. i was watching some show the other day. they bury their nuts normally when they don't think their being watched but when they know they are being watched they fake bury a few times then bury it. some scientist said this makes them fuckin smart....

I bury my nuts normally even when she is watching....wait...what?

I watched a squirrel moving its babies from one tree nest to another. It was p exciting. Baby squirrels are p damned cute.

mini-Ditka would destroy both the squirrel and gecko ninja

[Hasbinbad]

Geckos can walk upside down on glass.

Geckos can walk upside down on glass.

The toes of the gecko have a special adaptation that allows them to adhere to most surfaces without the use of liquids or surface tension. Recent studies of the spatula tipped setae on gecko footpads demonstrate that the attractive forces that hold geckos to surfaces are van der Waals interactions between the finely divided setae and the surfaces themselves. Every square millimeter of a gecko's footpad contains about 14,000 hair-like setae. Each seta has a diameter of 5 micrometers. Human hair varies from 18 to 180 micrometers, so a human hair could hold between 3 and 36 setae. Each seta is in turn tipped with between 100 and 1,000 spatulae. Each spatula is 0.2 micrometer long (one five-millionth of a meter), or just below the wavelength of visible light.

Their toes actually bend in the opposite direction from our fingers and toes. This allows them to overcome the van der Waals force by peeling their toes off surfaces from the tips inward. In essence, this peeling action alters the angle of incidence between millions of individual setae and the surface, reducing the Van der Waals force. Geckos' toes operate well below their full attractive capabilities for most of the time. This is because there is a great margin for error depending upon the roughness of the surface, and therefore the number of setae in contact with that surface. If a typical mature 70 g (2.5 oz) gecko had every one of its setae in contact with a surface, it would be capable of holding aloft a weight of 133 kg (290 lb): each spatula can exert an adhesive force of 10 nanonewtons (0.0010 mgf). Each seta can resist 10 milligrams-force (100 µN), which is equivalent to 10 atmospheres of pull.. This means a gecko can support about eight times its weight hanging from just one toe on smooth glass.

[True Stuff]. This means a gecko can support about eight times its weight hanging from just one toe on smooth glass.
Hella ninja.

I think I need to side with the Gecko.

Hmm... but I think to solve this, we need to make a request to ultimate warrior. Somebody get on it!

[Shmeeggeggy]

Crap, Deadliest Warrior, sorry.

RofL!

I am quite partial to squirrels as well, they never ever lose their balance, can jump insane distances millions of feet in the air, and are completely fearless.

My mom once chased a squirrel with her pellet gun all the way through our house and finally capped it ass behind my bed in our basement.

She hung the tails of her victims on our fence as a warning to other squirrels.

True story.

Also of note, we have the big-ass black squirrels here not those little gray/brown ones.

They are like wingless crows.

This was only possible because there was more than one squirrel ninja in the group.

Squirrels are so cute and cuddly.

Today is my dad's 59th birthday, he woke up poured himself a Jack Daniels and shot a squirrel in the yard all before 9am.
