Welcome to the Bip Report.
"Macross Plus"
Okay, I am sorry I ever doubted this show. It is very much exciting. Me, Ed, and Danny watched parts 2 and 3 today. Pretty much I have to rent part 4 tomorrow. It is imperitive for life. While sometimes slow, with much plot building, this can only be seen as an investment in the future. It is like what we learn in Econ. It is an investment, the trade-off being pleasure now for increased pleasure in the future. It was slow to start, but that only means that this last episode will be frickin awesome, as it has been built to be. Talk about a thrilla!
"Bears"
Okay, my whole bear thing was not meant to be a school spirit boosting tirade. Most of my bear theories were made over dinner last night. At the end of the meal, we realized that we are Cal Golden Bears. We then commented on how this is really an excellent choice of mascot, and I thought to put that in.
"Things that can beat a bear"
Okay, Scott will just not give it up. He now claims that bulls can defeat a bear. Well Scott. Again you are wrong. You think if a bull gores a bear, it's intestines will just fly out? Have you never seen a Matador fight go bad? If they get gored, their intestines don't fly out. They just get stabbed and tossed about. Pretty bad, but remember, they are only humans. Granted the bear might get stabbed, but it will be a minor wound compared to the bear's massive size. And it will definitely not get tossed about. Plus it has all that fat and muscle before you reach the vital organs. The bull would have it's head stuck in the bear, while the bear promptly rips the bulls head off. The bear cannot lose to a bull.
"A Rhino Maybe"
In my original, I said maybe a rhino could stand a chance. Well the rhino is like a bigger, armored bull. If the rhino managed to catch the bear with its horn, chances are the bear is in for some serious trouble. Cause that's a big horn. But I don't think it would get caught. If the rhino charged, I think the bear would scamper out of the way. Bears are quick now. There's a chance that they could move out in time. And then, the rhino would be stuck in the wrong direction. I don't think it is manuevarable enough to stop on a dime, and turn around. It's momentum would keep it going, and make turning difficult. This is when the bear could begin slashing and thrashing and biting at the rhino's neck and back, cause the bear is decently manuevarable.
"A Gorilla"
Reid suggested a silverback gorilla could win. Well I don't think so either. Besides the reasons I already gave Reid, I add this. The gorilla is strong, but how strong is it compared to a polar bear? I doubt it is stronger. And if it is, it cannot be significantly stronger. Now then, what is the gorillas attack? It's attack is a full out barrage of punches and kicks, much like Chewbacca fighting. It also has sharp teeth. But it would have to charge and try to take the bear, at which point the bear could just take the gorilla's head off with a clean swipe.
And Reid, you say it could jump in trees, and ambush from the back? Gorillas don't live in trees. You find me one tree that can support the weight of a gorilla, and I will show you a super tree.
The only way the gorilla can win is its utilization of tools. Such as uprooting a tree and using it as a club. However strong the gorilla is, it can't uproot too big a tree. Therefore, the power of this club may not be sufficient to defeat the bear's size. The bear could possibly bash the tree, and reduce it to splinters. If the gorilla can get a big enough tree trunk (which I doubt the bear would watch and allow it to do so), and hit the bear with it, then the gorilla could win. The bear would be knocked over, hurt, but not defeated. Then the gorilla could smash the bear's head with stones, such as in Congo. But I don't think it could get the tree.
Okay, any more bear comments? I am sure you are all sick of bears by now. But as long as people feel the need to challenge my claims, I feel the need to defend the bear. If one person has doubts, others may too. Therefore it is neccessary to resolve all doubts where everyone can see them, which is in the Bip Report.
So until next time, diamonds are forever, and so is the YF-19.
