Now THIS is Web 2.0 at work!

Maybe one of the best uses yet for the internet:

www.HowManyFiveYearOldsCouldYouTakeInAFight.com

Take a quick survey, and learn how many five year olds you could take in a fight. Results are based on physical prowess, training, swarm-combatting experience, and the flexibility of your moral compass.

According to the site, I can take on 30. Yeah, that's right, 30. I'm like the Conan the Barbarian of Kindergarten. That's just how I roll.

30

This is the best thing I've seen on the Internet since that dancing baby video.
