Best. Debate. Ever. - Batmobile vs. Lightsaber

It's a debate that's been plaguing nerds since a long, long time ago, and it's also an idea that someone came up with in here during a recent coffee break: Which item would you prefer to have access to on a daily basis, the Batmobile or a lightsaber? Our humble arguments, which we spent more time than you think coming up with, follow.

Lightsaber

From staff reports

• Are you kidding? With gas prices these days? Lightsaber.

• The Batmobile would cost a lot to insure and would be difficult to park. A lightsaber, on the other hand, could be hidden in one's sleeve and used to defeat the horrible robot armies that are on their way toward Earth as we speak.

• Batmoblie attracts cartoonish

villains; lightsaber attracts Ewoks. You decide.

• Show your lightsaber at Little Caesar's, get a free crazy bread.

• You can find everything you need to build a lightsaber in the drainpipe aisle at Home

Depot for less than $20.

•You don't want to be the guy who brings a knife to a lightsaber fight.

• According to Christmas legend, the Batmobile once lost its wheel and the Joker got away.

Batmobile

• A lightsaber can only be used to slice people in half. I have very little need to slice people in half on a daily basis.

• The Batmobile produces 1.2 gallons of

awesome for every .5 gallons of gas.

• I'm pretty sure Wayne Enterprises has invented something substantially better than your hybrids, OK?It's called clean-burning renewable jet fuel, and you can't have it, but I can, 'cause my Batmobile is loaded with it and refillable only at a station hidden deep in the woods. (The Batmobile comes with a gas card for this station.)

• Trunk space for daaaays, son.

• Batman would win a fight against someone with a lightsaber. Yeah, I said it. The dude beat Superman. Superman! I think he can handle your little toy sword, thank you very much.
