Ink Pen by Phil Dunlap for May 29, 2014

Yea, right they are. I used to actually host fan polls on a forum I used to post on all the time. One thing I knew going into the polls, you can ask a question once a get a particular result from X number of people polled. Ask it a second time with the same number, but not with the same people, and get a different result. My polls did often have some of the same people responding since it was on a forum, but with new folks chiming in the results did change. Seriously, you try asking three different groups of five hundred people who is stronger, Superman, Hulk, He-man (the original ‘80s cartoon version who was labeled the most powerful man in the universe in the title sequence), Thor, or Captain Marvel (DC’s Captain Marvel), I bet you in one poll Superman wins, in another Hulk wins, and in a third Thor wins (I’d vote for He-Man, but I’d bet most of those polled are to young to remember the old Masters of the Universe cartoon).

Tyr’s idea is the better of the two. Go for an odd number of fights where it’s just a slugging match, say nine or more. No weapons allowed. And no flying or using super speed cause that kind of momentum just adds extra power to a punch. Whoever wins the most times is probably the better fighter and possibly the stronger. Better if there’s a clear difference in number of wins, like say seven to two if you fight nine times, or eighteen to three if you go at it twenty-one times. You know, just that one extra win in an odd number of fights just eliminates it being a tie but doesn’t mean as much. Oh, and measure how far you hit each other, the stronger guy would probably punch or kick further than the weaker one.

Or armwrestle …

A fight would just prove who was the better fighter, not who was stronger. Why not a non-violent weight lifting contest. That way you can even find out who has the strongest arms, legs, back, etc.

My nose tells me Tyr is stronger.

I’m kinda leaning towards it being one of the females that beats them both. That’s because, as we all know, the stronger sex is actually the weaker sex, due to the stronger sex’s weakness for, the weaker sex.

And with these two posts you just proved my point about fan polls.
