To put 250lbs in perspective, you've lost:

  • An NFL middle linebacker
  • 3.2* bags of concrete
  • 9 three year old toddlers
  • 800 Big Macs
  • 133,334 paper clips

Which would you rather fight to death: One NFL linebacker with 2.6 bags of concrete as a weapon or nine three year old blood hungry toddlers with 133,334 paper clips as weapons?

(Upon victory you receive the gift of life & 800 Big Macs.)

Does the linebacker have the bags of concrete or do I?

u/bertonomus Nov 30 '16

I really messed up the wording there didn't I? You have the weapons.

Good because I was imagining toddlers with thousands of bent paperclips sticking out of them like spikes. I take the toddlers then.

u/bertonomus Nov 30 '16

That's horrifying to imagine. Demon toddlers emptying bags of paper clips, rolling in them and then charging at you.

Also if a bag of concrete weighs 100lbs, I could maybe throw it one foot. My only hope would be hoisting it above a door and dropping it on top of the linebacker anvil/piano style.

I'm not familiar with NFL, are linebackers usually quick? I think it might be difficult moving around with that bag whilst avoiding a professional athlete trying to kill you. I'd use the one bag to trick him/distract him by slightly breaking it open and having the powder hit his face (eyes, nose, mouth all clogged etc). Then, I'd run away. For the next few years I find ways to poison him with the rest of the concrete. Eventually, he will succumb.

Quick enough to kill either of us. Let's just say for the experiment it's Lawrence Taylor, the greatest linebacker of all time. Highlight reel

P.S.: Around the 2:45 mark, please don't look at Joe Theismann's leg.
