Ok... this is gonna sound stupid

But it's a debate going on in my apartment. Which would be better?

Retractable claws?

Prehensile dreads?

I'm sayin retractable claws. You could tear a mother fucka to shreads with them. What am I gonna do with prehensile dreads? Grab my bong with my hair? Lame.

Badass or useful? Claws would be badass, but prehensile dreads would be pretty damn useful.

Claws are infinitely more useful. You could use them to cut fruit, to do deadly one-inch punches, to pick your nose, to pick others noses, to scratch an itch, to climb walls, finger bang, tooth pick...

Dreads just refill your pipe.

i dunno, you could probably jerk off with prehensile dreads. and imagine the things you could do to your woman... try that shit with claws and youll be takin a bitch to the ER in a jiffy! plus the dreads could make you better at video games, playing instruments, could help you get the dishes done quicker (which is actually a moot point because with all the things youll be doing to your lady, she would be doing the dishes and cooking gourmet every night to keep you from leaving her to practice your talents on some hot young thang), etc.

claws would be badass, but the novelty would wear off, unless of course you had the healing abilities of wolverine as well, in which case you could use that shit to do all kinds of badass stuff. but just claws alone... not all that great. unless you have a freak bitch that likes being cut up while you fuck her... but even then, still not as useful as the prehensile dreads.

i have given this a lot of thought...

I'm with uber on this one, awesomely badass claws ftw.

For practicality the dreads would let me bind every damn button on my keyboard to a different bind. I could have script binds for anything and everything!... and still take hoots from my bong, all without lifting my hands off my precious arrow keys and mouse.

In today's age unless you planned on being a deviant and started killing people, I think the claws would draw some much unwanted attention.

Claws get you rad-ass hair and black and yellow leather.

You can get through airport security with prehensile dreads.

That would just work out great. Maybe you can give someone splinters.

Oh, tiger claws? Pfft, on a hand the size of a human, they're nothing more than glorified fingernails.

People are adding to the proposed question, probably all keeping in mind Wolverine. But remember he didn't just have claws he had super healing ability. Could you imagine what metal retractable claws would do to your hands? The wounds would never heal first of all, probably get infected pretty quickly, especially if the claws were dirty when retracted. Could contract anything from aids to some form of poisoning. All in all probably leading to a very short life.

Plus (again basing it off of wolverine) he experienced intense pain everytime they came out, intense pain with no healing afterwards? not for me thanks.

If the question was who's power would you choose, Wolverine vs (I can't think of a guy to be honest with prehensile dreads) my vote would definately be for Wolverine

But I'm not a fan of dreads on white guys.

I'd probably choose neither, because they're both kinda gay.

I dunno. Bone would be nice.

Like teeth on your hand.

Except more like tusks.

That are claws.

As Millia Rage has proven, prehensile hair (in this case, dreads) would be badass.

As Meg Griffin has proven, just having claws is sad.
