    (note, if you cannot run for an hour, you will slide down the hill into the tank with the shark. The tank has metal sides you cannot climb out of. You are equipped with yourself and a tree branch)
    Ridiculosity ensues.

    You can't have sex with a shark . . . you can't have sex with anyone. *Jack Sparrow-style pointing* "Unic"

    Why would I die? If I were to go against the mountain, I'd just jam my hands inside the sharks gills and hold on for dear life on its back. But because there is no way out of the tank, I'd eventually get tired of swimming if the shark's body didn't float.
    Jack: How do you know?

    Will: It's more of a feeling really.

    Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?

    Will: No.

    If Demolition Man were remade today

    Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
    Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
    Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
    Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
    Huxley: NO!
    Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
    Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
    Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
    Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
    Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
    Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
    Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
    Huxley: You need to leave, John.
    Spartan: But Huxley.
    Huxley: Get out!
    Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.

    By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.

    A sure-fire way to win a fight against a shark is to punch it in the nose, where it has its electricity sensor thing since that's where it's most sensitive. So I choose to fight the shark.

    You'd probably have gotten rid of several layers of throat by the time you got to the top anyway. What good is freedom when your lungs are full of blood?

    Anyone who can consistently run 10 mph uphill on a 45degree slope for more than three miles will get a personal check of $1000 dollars from me. PM me a video of it as well as your personal information.
    You'd world-renowned if you could run 15miles at 10mph.
    A 20-min 5K is a pretty good accomplishment, and even then, you'd only be running at 9.33 mph, but you'd only have gone 3.11 miles.

    Getting eaten by a shark would be a lot cooler than getting tired.

    I always thought there could NOT be such a thing as a dumb hill, but this questions leaves me inclined to think otherwise.

    Oh yeah, I went there.

    Oh, allie, was this one of those dumb ice breaker questions for some class or something? Those never make sense.

    Anyways, punching the shark in the gill is still the best way to go.

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    no foa there's just a really big hill I live at the bottom at and I wondered if it would be better to climb it every day forever (semesters) or just to fight a shark.
