Fast food.

If you could trade places with anyone for one day, who would it be, and what would you hope to accomplish?

A shark and a bear fight. Here are the rules: There’s just enough water for the shark to live, and there’s a small rock in the middle of the water for the bear to stand on. Neither has been trained, and neither has been fed for a few days. It's the baddest of grizzly bears against the baddest of Great White sharks. Who wins?

The great white shark. They're GREAT.
