It's so obvious it's a wonder no one ever thought of it before. You see it and think, "Of course that exists. If it didn't I would have had to invent it."
I am talking about the website How Many Five Year Olds Could You Take In A Fight? Don't get me started on all the ways this information could come in handy.
Please take the short survey about your mental and physical preparedness for the task here or in the box below to get your number. As you can see, mine is 18 and I was absolutely honest in answering the questions. How'd you do? And have you ever had occasion to fight that many of the little monsters at one time?
14. I'm still trying to get my head around the
fact someone came up with this. Hell, I'm still trying to get my head around the fact I was curious enough to even take part in it!

Apparently this site doesn't want me to FIGHT 5 year olds so much as it wants me to MAKE 5 year olds. It just keeps directing me to a dating website.

26 - But that's because I have no compunction against fighting dirty. Five year olds, if they wanted to be treated fairly or morally, they shouldn't have taken me on in the first place.
On an unrelated note, Marlon Brando's son Christian has died. Is there no end to your reign of celebrity death terror?!

12 - and to think i used to work at a daycare... it should have been way higher.
Posted by: alisa | January 27, 2008 at 10:37 AM
i'm also redirected to the "justsayhi" dating site.... dammit.

I'm a little disappointed that my number was only 18. I was looking forward to pounding a few more rude, little brats.
Posted by: Kings Fan | January 27, 2008 at 11:34 AM
I scored 18... the same as you, Bean. I'm afraid even having one thing in common with you is a dangerous thing. If I ever get the urge to paint my house pink I think I'll have to end it all.
Posted by: Big Red | January 27, 2008 at 12:08 PM
ha!! i HATE children....my score was 29!
Posted by: me | January 27, 2008 at 12:26 PM
dude i got the dating website to...do they hate people who work on Mac computers?! WTF...thanks Bean.....
Posted by: liz Griffis | January 27, 2008 at 05:29 PM
What is wrong with some people? Both links go right to the website and even if they didn't, Bean told you what the site is called. Just go there if you want to!!
Posted by: GUS | January 27, 2008 at 05:48 PM
Bean, on this thread: http://clydetombaugh.typepad.com/strongly_worded_letter/2007/12/going-outside-i.html#comments I linked you to a website (http://www.justsayhi.com/bb/zombie) that goes straight to this quiz. That was over a month ago. Nice to know you actually read the comments...
Posted by: Frances | January 27, 2008 at 06:31 PM
Same here, answered all the questions and got sent to a dating website instead of my score.
Lame.
Posted by: Vic Rattler | January 27, 2008 at 07:20 PM
WTF?? I took the quiz, but didn't get a score. Now, I'm going to have to kick some 5yr old tushies for real.
Posted by: LiLa & Pookie | January 27, 2008 at 08:06 PM
Hmm....I scored 18...
And to the people that got linked to the dating website:
Click the direct link, not the picture with Bean's score.
Posted by: Gianni | January 27, 2008 at 09:04 PM
23. I think I scored double for having long arms and legs.
Posted by: Diane | January 27, 2008 at 09:10 PM
sheeesh!!
3
but that's because I beat my 5 year old triplets daily
I'm just sayin'...
Posted by: ARSENAL MF'ers! | January 27, 2008 at 09:12 PM
23!! and I'm the mother of 2 kids!! Holy crap my kids don't stand a chance!! ahhahhaa
Posted by: angie | January 27, 2008 at 09:23 PM
23! Awesome. I'll bet biting a five-year-old is pretty sweet...I mean, they haven't had time to start tasting bitter or anything. Right?
Posted by: Jessica | January 28, 2008 at 07:46 AM
I just keep getting sent to a dating website. Shame on you bean. Do you own the dating website? Are you profiting from this??
tsk tsk tsk
Posted by: Chris | January 28, 2008 at 08:53 AM
Same as Chris. Kept sending me to the dating web site. And this encouraged by the person who doesn't want to receive email jokes.
Or maybe I needed to do this on Sunday while the authors of the survey were watching the game or something.
Posted by: Lynne_T | January 28, 2008 at 11:36 AM
People, quityerbitchin' and just click on the link that says click "here" and it goes right to the survey. Why are you making it so hard?
Posted by: Mom | January 28, 2008 at 11:45 AM
Sorry "Mom" my company has blocked me from "here". Guess I will have to wait till I get home from work.
Posted by: lynne_T | January 28, 2008 at 12:18 PM
Hey-- it wouldn't tell me anything-- everytime I pressed what are my results it kept sending me to some dating site.
I want to know how many of the little brats I can waste. As a school teacher, I need to be prepared.
Posted by: Cynthia | January 28, 2008 at 03:32 PM
You beat me Bean. I only got 15.
Posted by: IHeartBean | January 28, 2008 at 06:14 PM
Took the test and it redirected me to a freaking dating site. What's up with that? I'm pissed. I was genuinely interested in seeing how many five-year-olds I could take down before they ultimately killed me (yes, I think they'd win eventually).
