What would survive a nuclear holocaust? A Bran Muffin or a Cockroach?

Question

Please support your answer with some clear, concise data.

Answer 1

Hmmmm! it looks like one of those IQ tests. Your question is interesting and puzzling, but also healthy for the brain.

I am sure of one thing that a nuclear holocaust is no small thing. It can wipe out a whole section of nation or more. I can't imagine cockroach surviving----unless a cockroach seeks for some type of hibernation until the disaster is over.
The first answerer gave the best answer I believe. His made alot of sense.

From my own explanation I will try to use data from the Bible. Your question reminds me of the Flood. The Bible said that every living thing that was in the earth and sea (which I hope would include cockroaches). And plants and food was also affected, because after the flood God told them they could now eat clean meats. The only thing that survived were the eight people and the living creatures in the boat (Genesis 7:21--24).

A cockroach would definitely die. Even if it survived, it would still die minutes later because of the aftermath effect. The question is would it be able to survive in the poisonous air now. My guess is that it would not, if the poison goes into every hibernation crack of the earth.

As for the muffin the first answerer is right, it is food cooked, it is not alive. May be as a plant it had life, but as it covert to food and cooked it has no life. Therefore no life to lose. The only way however for it to survive, is if it stays in the same form with out melting or not converting to sandy pieces, to dust of the air. It would only survive in form, but not because it is living.

In my own opinion, I for the sake of giving a unique answer I would say neither. If both had life, I would probably have a different answer. But if the cockroach dies, than there is no survivor in terms of life. Also there is no survivor in terms of form also, depending on the seriousness of the holocaust.

Answer 2

The bran muffin is already dead, so nothing to survive. No heartbeat. A cockroach would not survive, as would nothing to little else. If nucleat warfare couldnt kill a little bitty cochroach, it would be a threat to anyone else. Not sure where you are trying to go with this, but doesnt matter.
When our end comes, we will know it, and we all better be fully GODs at that pont or we arent Gods at all.
Bran muffin and cockroach cant choose heaven or hell, so it really just doesnt matter..... WE need to ger serious about our salvation and the coming end. It is SOON.

Answer 3

*cough*
A cockroach is a living breathing creature where as a bran muffin....isn't! If you're talking about survivial as in 'living' then technicaly the muffin was never alive. But if you're talking about actually staying in one piece, then the cockroach wins. What happens when you step on a cockroach 'crunch'! So cockroachs have a harder shell, more likely to stay in one piece :D

Answer 4

hard to tell...........
the bran muffin would have to be wrapped in teflon and even then it's bound to lose some of it's yummy goodness


:D
