I love it when people have "who would win in a fight" conversations. You know the kind - "Who would win in a fight between Robocop and the Terminator?" or "Who would win a fight between Peewee Herman and Gilligan?" Etc...

But something that is always laking in those conversations is a proper, quantifiable, measurement of how much of a "bad-ass" someone or something is.

Toward that end - here is my BAQ (Bad Ass Quotient) System:

Fire Ant ---------------------------------------------------- BAQ = 1

Sewer Rat ------------------------------------------------ BAQ = 10

Chiwawa --------------------------------------------------- BAQ = 100

Drunk Redneck armed with a pool cue -------- BAQ = 1,000

Green Beret armed with a machete ------------ BAQ = 10,000

Silverback Gorilla ------------------------------------- BAQ = 100,000

Black Rhino -------------------------------------------- BAQ = 1,000,000

Tyrannosaurus Rex ---------------------------------- BAQ = 10,000,000

It would take about 10 fire ants to evenly fight 1 sewer rat.

It would take about 10 sewer rats to evenly fight 1 Chiwawa.

It would take about 10 Chiwawas to evenly fight 1 drunk redneck armed with a pool cue.

ETC...

Now we have a scale on which we can use to measure the "Bad-assness" of almost anyone or anything!

Here are just a few examples (the compleate list can be found here http://www.normandcompany.com/INDEX/BAQ.html):
