    10 out of 17, I can handle criminals and dogs just fine, but sharks and tornados are something else entirely.

    I'm not sure about how you really should react to the dog, I think it depends on the dog itself, some will just tear you apart if you do nothing, some will happily walk away. If you're gonna fight though, netter make sure you can knock it out, most dogs aren't easily scared of humans...

    I wonder if grabbing the neck would help. I heard it's a good way to assert you dominance over wolves (though, not advisable to try).

    13/17

    Missed the snake bite and the bloody sharks, and the bit about crawling underneath seats, makes sense though.

    As to the dog stuff, they're spot on. If you go into the fetal position with a dog, the most you'll get is a few nicks from attempted bites. Unless you're some martial artist, it doesn't pay to fight them. Sure, in all likely hood, you'll end up as the vitor w/ reach and stuff, but you'll also come out w/ some nasty bites that will need stitches, and will end up as scars.

    Badly maimed as well. And even then, I wonder whether I would really act as sensible in a danger situation, or just lose my head like 70% of the world does.

    True. I used to have play-fights with my parents' dog and even though it never bit me, it could move its jaws faster than I my hands. And this is just a pet dog. A street dog would have no trouble maiming both my hands before I closed them round its throat.

    Dogs are fast. At least dogs and sharks are predictable.

    Handling a terrorist is like handling your teacher or your boss. People who do nothing have a bigger chance to escape the judging eyes of the superior but end up with a bad grade or could get fired because the boss doesn't feel the need for him. People who talk annoyingly on and on don't realize how much they're begging to be shot. People who humanize themselves do well, even if they don't perform their work well. In other words, I find teachers and bosses to be mentally unstable.

    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    11 out of 17, a few of these i could have done differently though, using the martial arts skills i know. But i knew what the program wanted to hear thoughout some of it.
