I’ve been meaning to talk about this . . . but it’s such an incredibly divisive issue, I’ve really kept my thoughts private.
I have seen this on TV just about every day for weeks, and it’s really heated up since Sunday . . . and I can’t just sit here silently any longer.
I have to live with myself, and living with the knowledge that I was silent about this is much worse than enduring some short-term controversy.

Part one of Saturday Night 78 ended with quite a cliffhanger... ...so here's part two!
A troubling realization
This comes to us from my son, Ryan Wheaton.
Good News, Bad News
I got an amazing job that conflicts with the Denver Comicon next month, so I can't attend the convention.
I am easily amused
Hooray for stupid jokes! *fart*
ha ha ha. I’ve been watching this shark v croc thing since it began and i would definitely go with the shark (for many reasons i think everyone has heard) except for one point… would the shark have a special ability that would keep him alive outside of water (since these creatures are both equipped with wings, im assuming this is a “fight as you fly” competition)??
I am totally lost on this one.
That shark is so going down. I’m-a rip his face off. Teeth, ha! Feel the wrath of the snout. It’s all about the death roll, baby. Peacs, out.
The show on the Discovery Channel is worthy of mockery. I’m sure anything that the Cartoon Network does will be better. I’m not hacking on any of the particular scientists or the machine builders, they seem to do a good job. But Elephant vs. Rhino? Elephants kill Rhinos in the wild. There is your 1 hour program in six words. Building machines to “test the animal abilities” and making some poor zoologist say “but the rhino is faster, its going to kick your elephant’s ass” over and over is really pointless. But if they gave them rocketpacks? Now that would be cool.
Shark all the way baby!!!

Here’s why Shark is going to take the Croc:
Shark has a friggin’ JETPACK. While the Croc is flapping around going “I shall take you down with my Death Roll of Toothiness!” the Shark is going to zoom in with his Jetpack from above and knock that wingy Croc right out of the air.
The Croc will win the Fashion segment though.
New fight:
SPEEDY VERSUS AQUALAD!!!
🙂
I’ve missed the entire battle so far! But my gut tells me that shark is totally gonna kick the croc’s ass.
BTW, The Best Week Ever Blog has added WWdN to its hotlinks. Is this their way of apologizing for only using 2 seconds of your material?
This girl just defeated her friend… with science.
Science!
Right off the bat, the whole, sharks can’t breath out of wather thing has been resolved. the shark solved that with secret technology that no one needs to know about.
It’s really very simple to me. The Shark has a jetpack right? Well who in ther right mind would give a shark a jetpack? You would be unleashing unholy shark torment on the whole of humanity.
The only explination is that the shark made the jetpack himself. As such, he must be a super genius, and we all know that brains always defeat brawn.
Also, if those wings on the croc’s back are biological than either the croc was exposed to radioactive waste, or someone messed with his DNA. In eaither case this would have messed with his brain and his mental capacity. In layman’s terms the Croc is now a brain-dead moron.
Ergo, the Super-Genius Shark with his awesome jetpack of science (And which probably houses hidden death lasers) can be the only winner against such a stupid crocodile.
SHARK WINS!!!!
Shark so wins over croc. Remember, crocs do not typically kill their prey by their attack alone, they clamp on and drag it into the water where they drown it. Since our shark will be quite hard to drown, being a fish and all, this method of attack will be totally useless.
Personally, I can’t wait until the “Colossal Squid vs Sperm Whale” episode, as I’m a fan of both 20000 Leagues under the Sea and Moby Dick, I want to see which one comes out on top. But I say the Shark will win, cause common, it’s a Great White Shark afterall.
The Flying Croc has Angel wings. The Flying shark has a jetpack. A vote against Croc is a vote against Jesus.
Not Really. Jesus didn’t have Angel wings. But he did have a jet pack. So vote Shark.

I really do think she’s gone forever.Even worse,if the WB doesn’t get it’s ass in gear the rest of team Angel are to. 🙁
First Cordy then Fred. Can’t say i’m digging the sausage fest.
Ok, the ways I sees it:
Shark: Jetpack= good. BUT, does he have the intelligence to USE IT? Also, when a shark strikes, its eyes roll up into its head making it effectively blind during attack which= BAD! And of course, there is the whole breathing thing. But, IF the shark can drag the croc into the water, he will not only have superior maneuverability, but also all the oxygen he can handle. Then we have to figure if his jet pack will work under water, or possibly short out, or even explode.
CROC: Lets run with the wings. The wings are natural extensions, so they will take much energy to use. Reptiles have great endurance but can only be extremely active in bursts. Just flapping those wings might expend the Croc’s attack strength. Also, Sharks and Crocs have mouths designed to grab and hold something, then chew it up into mulch. Those wings have two BULLSEYES strapped onto them as far as the Shark is concerned. So I think the wings will be a liability for this reason as well.
Now, as we see here, this fight is gonna end up either in the water or on the ground. In the water, the Croc has better maneuverability than on the ground. AND he can hold his breath. On the ground, he will wear out fast, just like the shark. If he’s smart, he’ll let the Shark chomp on his wings and drag them both on the ground or water. This will give the shark a false sense of security. When the shark lets his guard down, the Croc can move towards the Shark’s tail and slowly work his way up, simultaneously destroying the Shark’s appendages, and taking chunks out of the Shark. BUT, IS THE CROC SMART ENOUGH to consider this approach? I doubt it. One final note, IF the shark chomps down on the Croc’s mouth first, the Croc will not have the strength to open his mouth. His strength is in his chomp. A man can keep the crocs mouth closed with one hand (if he is stupid enough to try it). A shark has no such limitation.
Overall, Im going with the Shark because of what that old lady said, “He’s very good looking, so he will win.”

Croc rules…Shark drools
Yeah sure shark has arms…big deal. Croc has arms AND legs AND a kickass tail. Whatchew gonna do Shark when those arms and legs and that tail run wild on you brotha?
Plus Shark ain’t shit without that jetpack. I see Croc humoring Shark for a while before he rips off that jetpack and makes Shark his bitch. With the jetpack gone all Croc has to do is pick him up and break him like Bane broke Batman over his knee.
Batman came back…Shark won’t.

Shark > Croc > Caveman > Astronaut
Heh, I don’t really watch Adult Swim (as I don’t get Cartoon Network), but I’m going to go with my general dislike of crocs and my love of sharks and say that Shark will win.
Also, cavemen all the way, no question about it.
Damn…I WANT MY FREAKIN’ CABLE TV BACK!!!!
(Note to self: resume nagging the spouse about moving…)
Well after giving this much… much… hours and hours of pondering. I have decided that the Croc will win. Because of this simple fact. Sharks can’t breath out of water. Now if for some reason this shark is able to breath air then the Shark takes it easy. But sadly I see nothing on him that would suggest he can breath air. 🙁
Can someone get Don King on the phone? He can make this happen! Maybe in she ShedAquirium in Chicago….
I got the crock in the 9th round.
Sharks are dumb Ashley, DUMB!! Croc is going to kick some serious shark arse!!
pixies rule, theyre playing my hometown but i had a meeting the day tickets went onsale and i missed out, but a couple of years ago i was a bouncer at the venue theyre playing so mabey i can get in anyway (in my best dick ritchie)
thats supposed to read (in my best dick ritchie((hope, hope)) )
Gidday folks,
being from dowununder, where we REALLY have crocs and sharks (often in the same place at the same time), and as with my fellow Commonwealth buddies, having no idea of to what this pertains, I can however *assure* you (because I saw it on a TV advert for a popular brand of beer) that “the crocs got all the sharks”.
So … no contest I reckon …
😉

Sorry people the shark will win, the Great White can travel to such speeds of 20 mph when leaping at it’s pray from underneith the water, not to mention it has great reflexes for it’s size, it’s bone crushing jaw and sharp razor teeth will be enough to take out any croc, no contest! Also if the Croc was flipped over it cannot move, therefore it’s soft belly is easy access to the shark.
