• Hitler's Skull vs a Turtle- THE DECISION
    34 replies, posted
I like to survey people at my school, and there have been some interesting responses to my newest question. So I want to know what Facepunch thinks of it. Lets say for Christmas (or some other gift-giving holiday), a random stranger approaches you in the street. He is holding two boxes. He says he will allow you to choose one box, but there are certain strings attached. [B]In one box,[/B] there is a perfectly alive turtle. Nothing is wrong with it. You must keep this turtle alive for two years. You cannot give it away. If it dies, or if you give it away, you will be [I]fined[/I]. $600,000. It doesn't matter if you have this money or not. You will be in debt. And it [I]must[/I] be paid back. [B]In the other box,[/B] there is Hitler's Skull. If you take this skull, it will be displayed in on an unassuming pedestal, in an [I]apolitical[/I] location in your house (i.e. no sings saying HITLER SUCKS or BURN THE JEWS or whatever). There will only be a small golden plaque saying "Skull of Adolf Hitler". No other objects may be in the same space as the skull. You may not say why you have this skull, or your personal opinions on Adolf Hitler. EVERYBODY who enters your house must be shown this skull. If nobody enters your house, you must force somebody into your house once a week. You will be [I]paid $400 a month[/I] for two years for keeping this skull. No breaking the skull either, or you get fined the same amount as killing the turtle. [sp]I reserve the rights to add more rules as you all try and avoid them.[/sp] Which do you choose? If you feel like it, post what country you are from along with your decision. I've been noticing an interesting trend with it, so it'd be nice. :buddy:
Hitler's skull. I would Turn my house into a WW2 oddities museum and rake in the money while following the rules of the gift, staying neutral and apathetic when asked about the war, and keeping it in it's own private exhibit.
Skull obv. America
the skull. $400 a month for something that's no longer of any use to hitler, so what? [editline]14th October 2010[/editline] i do like turtles though [editline]14th October 2010[/editline] although i assume you mean tortoise. you don't keep turtles unless you have a private bay or something
What if someone steals the turtle or the skull?
400$ a month for keeping a skull instead of breeding a boring and pedant turtle? That's a deal. [editline]14th October 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=Inufin;25400705]What if someone steals the turtle or the skull?[/QUOTE] Let's be realistic, who would steal any of those?
Skull Get paid I don't give a fuck
[QUOTE=TerabyteS;25400769] Let's be realistic, who would steal any of those?[/QUOTE] People steal some stupid shit, you'd be surprised.
[QUOTE=TerabyteS;25400769] Let's be realistic, who would steal any of those?[/QUOTE] What kind of tool [i]wouldn't[/i] steal Hitler's skull? You could make some ridiculous money from it.
[QUOTE=Inufin;25400705]What if someone steals the turtle or the skull?[/QUOTE] It gets magically transported back to your house.
The skull You can earn for real, more than 400$ per month, if you open a little hystorical museum about it. (italy)
Skull, I'd [B][I]pay[/I][/B] to have it (it's an important object that would attract loads of visitors, not to mention that if you should not want it in your house after the two years, you could sell it for lots of money).
[QUOTE=TerabyteS;25400769] Let's be realistic, who would steal any of those?[/QUOTE] Wasn't there a thread on /b/ about some guy who stole a skull from a tomb and then stuck his dick in it? That guy...
[QUOTE=Echidna666;25401328]Wasn't there a thread on /b/ about some guy who stole a skull from a tomb and then stuck his dick in it? That guy...[/QUOTE] Thats... Thats just... It's not even the fact he fucked a skull, its the fact he defiled someones grave, pulled their skull out, and defiled the skull. I mean have some respect for the dead people...
Godwin for the win.
What the fuck? The skull of course. I already have loads of nazi memorabilia at my apartment.
Skull because I get paid for it.
Why in the hell would those be the only choices? That's a terrible survey (hope your proud of yourself meowtflol) [QUOTE=TurbisV2;25404840]This survey is really badly put together though, if I was forced to do either then obviously I'd go with the skull as it has a much lower risk of putting you in debt for the rest of your life.[/QUOTE] Exactly
I like turtles.
Skull, then have a candle on it and get a creepy armchair and a fireplace.
Skull, duh.
the turtle because i love turtles and are awesome :3:

But i like turtles
Keep turtle for two years, then sell it for 600,000 dollars.
A skinhead would murder you for the opportunity to have ownership of Hitler's skull. Seriously, guess why they never told anyone where Hitler's remains are.

wasn't hitler's skull charred to dust?
If I MUST choose one, and cant back out, then I would take hitler's skull for 125 years, and then break it in front of the biggest audience imaginable. pays itself off.
Definitely the Fuhrer's skull. I would guard that thing more than I [b]do[/b] my own testicles. Adolf Hitler was a great man. Too bad that whole creation of Germania thing turned sour with the invasion of Poland... ...of course the Soviets helped, but did they get in any serious trouble? Nope. Fucking Bolsheviks.
