Application: mad_muses - Who would win in a fight, astronauts, or

[likely_evil]

Depends really on where the fight takes place. Are we sending the astronaut back into time to the pre-historic era? And what astronaut? Is it a guy who is all about his equipment, or was he in the Navy SEALS before he decided he wanted to go to NASA?

What if the caveman came to the present time? Are they like Brenden Fraiser cavemen from Encino Man or are they more like the guys from the Geico commercials?

Then it comes down to weapons. Hand to Hand? Cavemen have the advantage unless it's the Navy SEAL astronaut. Or it's the Geico cavemen, because I bet that lizard could take them on and win. If the astronaut has a gun, however, he wins hands down. But it would end up probably with the cavemen bowing down and worshiping them as a god or something.

Really, there's too many variables to make an educated answer on this question. Can I get another one?

I didn't think of that.

But! That made me think of another variable! Where's the fight taking place? Is it in space? Cuz, you know, the caveman would have no idea how to move around in zero gravity. And fighting in general in zero gravity would be pretty tough!

That's true! Even a ninja would totally be thrown off in space. And if like the astronaut went all Land of the Lost all the caveman had to do was wait for a T-Rex to walk by, the astronaut would look at it in shock, and BAM club upside the head.

Oh yeah! That's another thing to think about. Is this caveman like a real historical one or like is he from a realm where dinosaurs co-exist with man? Cuz he could either use a dinosaur as a distraction or as a weapon.
