1. Uhmm, sharks and alligators don't sting. They tend to bite.

3. This is a very good question...I'm not sure of the answer though...
The shark is more maneuverable than the alligator, I think...It gets around more easily in the water..

I think my money's on the shark..also it would depend on which one is bigger...

I don't think a Great White would have too much trouble with any alligator...

sodomizing each other.

Besides, ninjas do not masturbate. Their genitals are to be used as an instrument of death only.

11. Well as a rule, but not absolutely so, sharks are salt water and gators
are fresh water. Hmmm...I guess it depends on who is at home at the time. Perhaps? They are both quite ancient predators.

21. depends on the size of the shark really
On MSNBC, Tucker Carlson was talking to some guy in NO who use to work as a tour guide. Aside from saying that he made a "colossal mistake" staying in NO, he also said he saw a "3ft long shark swimming down the interstate".

My guess is that an alligator could totally take a 3ft long shark, but if the shark is the size of the sharks we all fear because of the movie Jaws, then no.

The moral of the story? Size counts.

Witches are still around, aren't they? Despite the big bad Catholic Church.

27. It's all about intent.
Sharks will eat anything that doesn't eat them first. Bollocks on the "it's a mistake" statement when they go after humans.

A gator sizes up prey. Can I submerge and drown that tasty morsel, then eat it/him/her later?

If evenly sized and aggressive, I give it to the shark. The water is the shark's only home, whereas the gator is specialized.

My dear flvegan...The water is the shark's only home, indeed...

That is the crux of the matter...IMHO...

37. Ab-so-freakin-lutely.
Although some argue that it's not the fish in the fight, but the fight in the fish (or something), I say that if you're a 2,000 pound Great White, and you're swimming into the ring against a 7 foot croc, then you're going home with the World Heavyweight Water Predator Championship Belt at the end of the day.

However, that being said, if that shark is completely idiotic to the point of self destruction, then no, size doesn't matter. It's a vital mix...size, AND knowing how to use it.

oh, yeah.
