Ah, the old "when your argument fails, question the source" tactic. Chimps travel by swinging through trees. Do a google search for chimpanzee strength - websites from zoos place Chimp strength at 5 to 7 adult men. This is fucking common knowledge you goddamn moron. Children know this.

YES!!
Holy shit, were you dropped on your head?!

Okay, how much stronger is the average chimp then? Give me a measurement of something they can do that the strongest men in the world can't. You could be right, but I don't think it's a proven point. Can they deadlift more than 1000 lbs? You know, stuff like that...or perhaps do a one handed pull without exerting themselves of an even greater magnitude than that...such as say...1200 lbs...
And the orange text is getting annoying and being annoying is my role in this thread, so I suppose I'll just have to try harder what can I do now...oh I know!.
But whatever. Chimps can be as strong as y'all want them to be. They certainly are really strong. I'll just say, "Hey it doesnt matter" after wasting massive amounts of time making up bullshit, that should really ramp up the annoyance factor for everyone! I am sooo smart!
PurpleTattoo wrote:I certainly agree that chimp strength on average is higher than human strength, but I think information on the extremes of chimp strength is lacking. That site with the dynamometer info says as much:
It's a lot easier to get a chimp in roller skates than it is to get him to pump iron--hence, most of the data on chimp strength is anecdotal and decidedly unscientific.
1,260 lbs is sure a big number, but do we know what strong humans could do on the same decive?
You are a fucking moron and a liar. Chimps are far stronger than humans. The world fucking record deadlift for humans is less than 1000 pounds, and the deadlift is with both legs and both arms, while this chimp pulled 1260 pounds with one fucking arm, and certainly without trying anywhere near as hard as the human world-record holder did.
If you know of data that prove that a pull close to 1,260 lbs (on the same instrument) can't be done, then I'll gladly concede the point. I may well be wrong - chimps could be even stronger than I think. But we don't have the data to prove it either way. We do know they are quite strong, though.
I haven't seen you ever concede a goddamned thing. The fact is that humans are the 98 pound weaklings of the animal kingdom. Deal with it, you evasive lying little shitstain.

And none of this disproves the obviously documented strength of chimpanzees.
But it suggests that they didn't pull off the man's foot. Could they have? Who knows? But if chimps are strong as you're staying, they could easily have just ripped all his limbs off, right? Just like a Wookie?

A Government founded upon justice, and recognizing the equal rights of all men; claiming higher authority for existence, or sanction for its laws, that nature, reason, and the regularly ascertained will of the people; steadily refusing to put its sword and purse in the service of any religious creed or family is a standing offense to most of the Governments of the world, and to some narrow and bigoted people among ourselves.

What the fuck is it with you and the whole "Who knows?" throwing your hands up fucking bullshit. I'd tell you to get the fuck out of my forum, but to be honest I see you spending the bulk of your time here in this corner...though thankfully I also dont see that being a frightfully long stay...

while this chimp pulled 1260 pounds with one fucking arm
But we only have data from a few chimps and one human on that device. Even the person who reported it said it wasn't scientific.
I knew it. You said "If you know of data that prove that a pull close to 1,260 lbs (on the same instrument) can't be done, then I'll gladly concede the point."
You clearly and explicitly promised you would concede if we could present evidence that humans can't pull 1260 pounds. Irrefutable evidence was presented satisfying that exact criterion, and as I expected, rather than living up to your word, you tried to pull another bullshit evasion.

I've already provided the proof, you fucking brick. Google it. Look, the first hit is Cody. Read up, twitboy, and stop moving the fucking goalposts. I already proved you wrong.

Sorry for stealing your thunder, Rob. But when somebody refuses to concede that an animal who can do a one-handed pull of 1260 pounds is far stronger than a human (as opposed to being marginally stronger, which seemed to be his position), it's pretty obvious that he is in dire need of instant termination.
