September 23, 201114 yr Though Palin can hunt, I imagine Bachmann ambushing her in the prairie and suffocating her by ramming the US census down her throat.

September 24, 201114 yr Author Fight #2 Aftermath:Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann entered the arena together, side by side, to a chant of "Drill Baby Drill!" With tea partiers working themselves into a frenzy, shots could be heard from automatic weapons in the cheap seats. This calmed enough people down for one of the two (Can't be sure which one) to begin addressing the crowds, talking about government waste, constitutional principals, and invoking the name of Ronald Reagan several times. Later it became evident that this was Bachmann, after Palin took the microphone and began talking about how she could see Russia from her house. The fight began, and immediately Bachmann called Palin a RINO. The two began clawing, moments later Sarah Palin revealed her true form, quite literally a mother grizzly bear! As Palin was transforming, Bachmann could be seen quite visibly shaking, fury and rage building inside her. Beams of intense energy shot out of her eyes, singing Palin's fur. Palin took one swipe with her giant paw, crumpling Bachmann to the ground. Winner: Palin, 15-7. Fight #3, Karl Marx versus Adam Smith. Wikipedia Pages here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_smithhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_marx Remarks about the pre-fight:A couple of the greatest thinkers of their time, Adam Smith is known as the father of capitalism, Karl Marx is known as the one of the principal architects of modern social science. Smith formed the basis for the "invisible hand," while Marx spent his lifetime describing the shortcomings of capitalism and promoting a stateless, classless society. Two great thinkers, two opposing ideas.

September 24, 201114 yr Seeing as capitalism beat communism in the historical arena, it's only natural to assume that Smith would do the same to Marx.

September 25, 201114 yr Author Fight #3, Karl Marx versus Adam SmithAftermath:As soon as the bell rang signalling the start of the fight, something amazing happened. Adam Smith began summoning the power of the invisible hand. As Smith was chanting encantations, Marx began summoning the common man. The unionized people in the audience, all the arena staff and workers began assembling and marching towards the ring, singing in unison, "Solidarity Forever". As the first union workers made it to the ring a curious thing occurred. Something began picking the workers up, and tossing them away. The invisible hand had been summoned! As the invisible hand was taking care of the unions, Smith turned his focus onto Marx. A fist-fight ensued, a classic brawl. Marx went for a quick one-two, Smith countered and connected squarely with an uppercut to the chin. Marx went down hard. At that point we can only assume the invisible hand focused on Marx, as he began turning blue in the face. A final shudder, and Marx was dead. Winner: Smith, 12-9. Fight #4, Thomas Edison versus Nikola Tesla Wikipedia pages here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Edisonhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikola_Tesla Remarks about the pre-fight:Between the two of them, more than 1,700 patents were granted. Some interesting facts, Edison is usually credited with inventing the lightbulb (instead he only improved upon it); Tesla invented the radio (the USPTO reversed its decision, later to be reinstated by the Supreme Court) but doesn't get credit. Edison favored direct current, Tesla favored alternating current.

September 25, 201114 yr Tesla it is. "Imagine yourself surrounded by the most horrible cripples and maniacs it is possible to conceive, and you may understand a little of my feelings with these grotesque caricatures of humanity about me." - H.G. Wells, The Island of Doctor Moreau
September 25, 201114 yr Because of his eccentric personality and his seemingly unbelievable and sometimes bizarre claims about possible scientific and technological developments, Tesla was ultimately ostracized and regarded as a mad scientist by many late in his life. Tesla indeed. ☢ CAUTION ☢ CAUTION ☢ CAUTION ☢ CAUTION ☢
September 25, 201114 yr Tesla's got this, hands down. He'd have the passion and fury against Edison which Edison wouldn't posess I reckon. Edison screwed Tesla, not the other way around :P.
September 25, 201114 yr Telsa supposedly invented a device that could destroy the world, I'll take him. "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti
September 25, 201114 yr Well let's see. There's the stuff Tesla made, and there's the stuff Tesla made that Edison stole/ruined forever. I'm going with Tesla. Get back here so I can rub your butt.

September 25, 201114 yr Author I chose Edison, simply because Edison 1-up'd Tesla many times in real life, and did a very good job of destroying him. We learn about Edison in 1st grade, not Tesla. 99 dungeoneering achieved, thanks to everyone that celebrated with me! ♪♪ Don't interrupt me as I struggle to complete this thoughtHave some respect for someone more forgetful than yourself ♪♪♪♪ And I'm not doneAnd I won't be till my head falls off ♪♪
September 25, 201114 yr I'd vote for Edison but Tesla just seems like a straight up nut in his later years trying to invent crazy weaponry.
September 25, 201114 yr Tesla probably invented a time machine but decided against using it for fear of paradox.
