The Pritchard Scale

Mureder: well if someone had a shrink ray...and made you really small I'd bet multiball mode would be pretty lethal so...10

Worship: for fans of Tommy and The Who...9...for anyone normal...4

Next: Spam...
 
It serves little in information giving 1
It can get people money, help them harass people they dislike 7

7


Next: The NationStates United Nations
 
The NS UN has had several documented deaths, mostly as a result of numerous repeals. Murder value: 6

It really sucks, though, and I think we can all agree on that, but without it, the Fenda/Vader game would not exist. So the worship value is a 4.

Let's go with Sir Paul, a true Pacifican.
 
Sir Paul, eh? Murder value is a 7. Smart and witty enough to charm you and then kill you without you realizing it. Plus, we should never forget UPS Rail. ;)

Worship value is a 9. The high score is for his amazing satires and, of course, UPS Rail. (Does anyone remember UPS Mail?) -1 point for being an icky Pacifican. :P

Next up: Pringles
 
Murder: ooh pringles...nasty....sharp edges...so lots of slicing of arteries and stuff....definite choking potential....if you stuffed a whole crumbled packet down someone's throat.....also If you pop the top off the tube right it's pretty much a ninja death star....and the tube itself...a blunt instrument for cudgelling and clobbering....so...10

Worship:...well you can't stop...once you pop..it's right because it's true....oh yeah and pringles dipped in soft full fat cheese...OMG....10


next:...The big pink tank....

Murder: 10. You'd be left laughing so hard at the ridiculously hideous paint scheme the tank would have all day to line up it's shot. BOOM.

Worship: If you're a hippy, 9-10. If you're not, about 2. If it were a proper military color, maybe about 5 or 6.

Next... Internet Relay Chat, or as it's better known, IRC.
 
IRC, unfortunately, doesn't carry a very high murder value. It may be used as a tool to bring a person to their death, but op abilities put a hamper to that, as well as each individual's option to press Alt-F4. Plus, threats and whatnot tend not to carry much clout when an always valid retort is *Monte Ozarka slaps you around with a large trout. Therefore, it gets a 1 for effort.

As far as worship goes, well, it gets a 10. If you don't know why, I shouldn't have to justify it to you. :P

[size0]P.S. Everyone get on IRC![/size]

Next in line is...

105700.gif
 
Murder value is pretty high if you're a moron. COnsidering the high amout of morons in the world, I'd give it a 6.

Worship value... Not so much. 2.

Next in line:

Lennon-NYC-767612.jpg
 
Murder value: 0. The man was a pacifist, whose idea of a protest was to stay in bed with Yoko "Oh No!" for an unreasonable amount of time.

Worship value: 8. Could write a decent tune or two, bigger than Jesus, idolised by hippies, got shot.

Next: Salvia horminum
840.jpg
 
Err. 1 on the murder scale for the highly unlikely hypothetical situation in which someone asphyxiates by having bunches of these flowers rammed down his throat.

Worship value gets a 4. They're pwetty but nothing too special.

Next is kumquats!

Kumquat-22T.jpg
 
Perfect size for getting down someone's throat. But it takes some efort. I give it a 3 for weapon value.

However, kumquats are food, and food is essential for life, just like pie, so it's just as worshipable as pie. Therefore, I give it a Pi.

This smiley: :agree:
 
Murder value: 0. Come on, it's on the internet. Plus, it's all agreeable and stuff. It wouldn't even attack other internet objects. :fish:, on the other hand...

Worship value: 1. Look at it, all boring and smiley-ish. It ain't got nothing on :fish:

Next:
the-big-sheep.jpg
 
Err... since no one seemed to want to reply to that I will.

Murder value: 9. He is playing the Joker after all.

Worship value: 1. :no:

Alright, now consider the eagle?
 
8 for murder value. They'll peck your face owf. 7 for worship value, Americans seem to love it.

Next: C17H19NO3 H2O.
 
Murder: again more a case of suicide having to deal with the bloody things more than twice in your lifetime so 1...
Worship..well for mathematicians 8...everyone else 0

Now....Consider if you will the m-16 bearing squirrel of latvia....
frosty.jpg
 
Murder: 10 as it is a big beasty.....
Worship:For fans of Douglas Adams 8....for anyone else 0.....It's a big beasty....

Now for.....The Balm......
 
the balm? like lip balm?

Murder: 2. it is technically not the best thing to force someone to ingest through their eyesocket.

Worship: 2. It does keep your lips nice and smooth.


Let's try the good ole HNO3.
