Cracked Round-Up: Whale-Fighting Edition

Things that aren't challenging aren't worth doing. Which is why our office fight club has recently had a change of focus. Punching people is easy. Too easy. But hand to fin combat with a blue whale? Now that's a challenge. Some people will say you can't beat a whale with your bare hands, but they just aren't thinking creatively enough. A whale's weak spot is the blow hole. The trouble is getting a foot or a fist inside that thing. We'd recommend finding a small child to sort of jam in there like a cork. You'd be surprised how well that works.
