Friday's Winner
Who would win: A pirate who can hold their breath forever and is three stories tall OR a mermaid armed with a tranquilizer gun and is made of stone? Winner: Pirate. Reason: Stone mermaid can't move and "The pirate who can hold their breath forever and is three stories tall because it can pick up the mermaid and smash it to the ground and she would break very easily because they are made of Stone."
