Working with crazy people is fun...

Christian's reponse to the question "is there anything your almighty team can not do?":

You don’t know the half of it. Currently on our task list is “Restore the ozone in the ionosphere” (Karina’s doing some high altitude reconnaissance to the Van Allen belt next week) and “Feasibility of Inhabited Mars Bases.” Libby’s making Chris do a quick trip to MS’s secret moon base next month. Oops! Forget I said that last part.

And Rick's response to the age old question "who would win in a fight - a bear or a gorilla?":

Let’s see, a bear or a gorilla… that’s easy. I would win. First, I would go after the gorilla [he is the faster one]. I would first take him off his feet with a quick drop kick to the face. Then I would follow up with a big elbow from a near-by tree. The elbow to the chest would knock the wind out of the gorilla long enough for me to slap on the full nelson onto the gorilla. By this time, the bear is charging at us. This is when I would use the bear to kill the gorilla. As the bear is approaching me from behind [I still have the gorilla in the full nelson] I would wait till the last second and quickly spin around as the bear lunges after me. Thus, the bear would be attacking the gorilla and killing it [since the gorilla has no way of defending himself from the bear attack because I have the full nelson slapped on him].

As the bear backs off and lunges in for another attack, I quickly release the dead gorilla from the “Kong Nelson” hold I had on him and perform a quick spin kick to the bear’s face. Now stunned, I grab the bear and give him a German suplex. I then slap on the figure four, breaking one of the bear’s leg. Now with the bear slowed down, I maneuver around the bear and put the sleeper hold on the bear. Since the bear has shorter arms, there is now way the bear can grab me off his back or flip me off. Once the bear is asleep [thanks to me cutting off the flow of blood to his head, using the patented “Bear Claw Sleeper”] I’ll carry him over to a cliff and throw him off.
