haha, you don't get to leave silly.

oh, well then why the hell would i want to be suspended over a pit i can't get out of?

Your choice is what you are being suspended over, not if you are being suspended.

yeah, but i wouldn't put myself in that situation to begin with, so what's it matter? might as well be a pit of 10 inch spikes or molten lava...

Because Spikes and Lava are certain death. Snakes and bees and scorpians and spiders are not. It's all about making the right choice.

you don't think thousands of stings from scorpions and bees and bites from poisonous snakes and spiders would kill you? that's enough neurotoxin to kill you REAL quick...

i'd choose the snakes... i'd grab the non-poisonous snakes and tie them together end to end and make a rope. i'd throw the snake rope up to where i just fell from and loop the snake rope around it and climb my ass out of there.

(hey, it's more realistic than this ridiculous hypothetical)

This reminds me of the scene in saw 2 where the girl is pushing into the pit with glass syringes. She gets stabbed with the needles and the broken glass. ughhhhhh

I guess it wouldn't really matter. If I'm just being suspended over the pit, what's in it doesn't matter.
Now being dropped into the pit, that part I wouldn't like.

It says in the original post that you are soon to fall in. So yes, you are being dropped in after you choose.

I still say you could escape relatively intact if you chose the bee/wasp/hornet one. Those suckers would kill each other off in a few minutes. You'd get some residual stings, probably, but play your cards right and you're outta there with just a little soreness and puffy skin.

There is cover holding them in. It's opened only to let you in.

So are we stuck in there until we die or are we allowed out at some point? If we can get out then I'd go w the bees because as much as it would hurt like a b1tch, I have a greater chance of living if I can get out in a reasonably short period of time. If we're stuck in there until we die then I'd go w the snakes or scorpions, whoever has the poison that is going to kill me quickest w the least amount of suffering.

I don't like all your questions. You get no choice. Into the spider pit with you!!!

Snakes without a doubt... First because insects creep me out, and second because snakes would be kind of "pillow fall" :D and would snakes even bite me if I stood still? Anyway, since this assumes you will die either way, I would hope snakes would have the fastest killing poison, so I wouldnt suffer as much
