Men have been the underdog in this one for millenia. From the Cro-Magnon times, when they had to risk thier lives to kill the next meal - to the times of war, when they died for thier causes - to having to live with women. To put men at a further disadvantage, women
even live longer. But thanks to policies to control population in India and China, boys are the preferred child, and have given men a slight edge for the first time in this contest. It will be interesting to see women's next move. Our Pick: Women
|
| Lawyers |
1,105,000 |
| Doctors |
567,000 |
| After centuries of domination, the lawyers have really started to pull away in this one. This contest started faily even, with both professions viewed as noble and forth right. But from the time of the alchemists to the snake oil salesmen of the Old West, doctors'
reputations tarnished. Seen as a shady but necessary evil, thier numbers swelled. Lawyers, in a brilliant move, turned the tables on the doctors. They refined the doctor's image of shadiness to a fine art that has them currently 'doubling up' the doctors. Will the doctors
respond? We don't think so. Our Pick: Lawyers 5:1 |
| Blondes |
40% |
| Brunettes |
60% |
| Alot of players 'changing teams' in this contest - that's going to make this a tough one to call. We suspect that a majority of each side will swap within
a year. Blondes may actually have more fun - we're not sure - but they haven't done a very good job dispelling the image the Brunettes have managed to maintain
about them. Our Pick: Brunettes
|
| This one has gotten ugly. But the veteran Jews really know how to hang tough. The Muslims, only 1400 years old, have been up and down but are really
on a hot streak now. The Jews, except for a mysterious drop in the 1940's, have been stadily gaining ground for 5,000 years. The Muslims, with thier fast-paced
in-your-face style of play have really run it up on the Jews, but you can't ignore the Jew's experience. No one has had a lasting victory over them yet.
Our Pick: The Jews in 5,000 years |
| How about this for an upset in the making? Man's best friend since the caveman era finds himself trailing his arch nemesis. Still legally considered
wild animals in many states, the cat's quiet nature and relatively low maintenance have helped launch them past thier slobbery, yelping, seemingly slow-witted
fellow pets. What's a dog to do? Patience will call the winner in this one. Remeber canines, cats give people the same condescending look they give you - and
they won't fetch a stick. Our Pick: Dogs |
| McCoys |
572,000 |
| Hatfields |
242,000 |
| We thought this one was over - why can't they just get along for crying out loud? Anyway, this is a tough call, because they started marrying
each other several generations ago. Or so we thought. Snuffy Smith will probably outlast them all. As a matter of fact, Our Pick: Snuffy Smith |
| Not only has the cute and simple Mary Ann edged out the glamorous Ginger, it's not even close. It seems Ginger may have been a little
high maintenance, perhaps? Or did Mary Ann just fit better in the island setting? Who cares? Our Pick: Mary Ann |
| You wouldn't think that deer would have deer hunters doubled up, but there's the score. There's unconfirmed statistics that more deer are killed by cars than by deer hunters.
Makes you wonder why it's so hard for hunters to find them in the woods when cars seem to find them just fine without even leaving the road. Obviously the deer have the upper hand on thier turf.
Our Pick: Deer |
| Buckeyes |
11,464,042 |
| Alligators |
3,000,000 |
| Looks like the Buckeyes may finally get a victory over thier new arch enemy, the alligators. Even though there are alot of people moving from Ohio to Florida,
it doesn't look like the alligators can make up that much ground. Our Pick: Buckeyes (finally) |
| Boats |
1,010,370 |
| Manatees |
3,116 |
| Looks like the Manatee is going to stay in this until the bitter end. With so few left, it would seem difficult for any single Manatee to get between
a man and his fish. But if they can't make a go of it without any natural predators, we don't give them much of a chance against the boats. Our Pick: Boats |
