Who would win in a fight between a leopard and a cheetah.

According to wikipedia:
An average leopard measures between 4 and 6 feet and weighs between 66 and 200 pounds.

An average cheetah measures between 3.5 feet and 4 feet and weighs between 77 and 160 pounds.

Add to that the physical structures of the cats, the leopard has a massive head with really strong jaw muscles and stronger than average shoulder muscles for climbing trees. The leopard is slight built for speed and has minimal traction on their paw pads.

It would seem that the leopard would win a fight between these two animals.

Professor Threepwood's answer:
Catfight you say? Get me a ringside seat and put my money on the one with the biggest muscles.

If a whale swallowed you whole, do you think you would survive

According to answers.yahoo.com:
The only whale big enough to get a whole human in it's mouth is the blue whale. However they have very small throats and couldn't swallow a human whole. Also as whales don't breathe through their mouths you would drown pretty quickly.

Professor Threepwood's answer:
A whale wants to swallow my hole you say? I suppose I could be persuaded to give it a try.
And just FYI, it's not polite to call them whales, no matter how fat they are. Now, hold my trousers and bring her in.

If you cut yourself on a tattoo what colour would the scar be?

There are too many entries on google about "scar tattoos" and "tattooing over scars" and "does tattoo removal leave a scar?" for me to find a specific answer, however, scar tissue is formed by new skin cells and connective tissue, so it should be skin coloured.

Professor Threepwood's answer:
For me personally it would be green. I had a Kryptonite blood transfusion back in the 80's.
I'll be damned if Superman ever does that to me again!

What's the most amount of weight a person could gain in a day?

themedicalquestions.com says:

Any weight gained over a 24 hr period is nothing more than water that is retained or the actual weight of the food items that were ingested. The body does not increase body fat at any measurable rate in such a short period of time. Weight (fat gain) occurs when there is a caloric excess over an extended period of time.

Professor Threepwood says:

It totally depends on how smashed you are. Once I ate a whole munchy box to myself on the way home from the pub.
That cost me £4.99.
The taxi home cost me £7.40.
Got a rollicking from the wife when I got in, had to sleep on the couch and lost £1.21 down the back of the bloody thing!

All in I lost 13.60 pounds.

I feel fit as f...

Is a cat's day shorter than a human day?

This question stumped Google.
The answer to this question is a day is a day no matter what species you are.
The answer to the question, is a cat's daily cycle shorter than a human daily cycle? is.
Cats are mainly diurnal meaning they're awake during the day. Cats can sleep and wake frequently throughout a 24 hour period, they don't call it a cat nap for nothing.
So, no, a cat's daily cycle is not shorter than a humans.

Professor Threepwood's answer:
When I was going out to the shop for some refreshments I locked a cat in the coal cellar.
I awoke that evening in the park and some scally had pissed in my trousers!
When I got back home I let the cat out. I bet that was a long day for him!
It wasn't even my cat!

Is the moon a planet?

According to wiki.answers.com:
While the moon is a large orbiting body, it is not technically considered a "planet". Planets orbit stars/suns. Both moons and planets are satellites. The Moon is a satellite of the Earth. The Earth is a satellite of the the Sun. Since Pluto has been demoted from a planet to a dwarf planet, we now have 8 planets in our solar system and a bunch of dwarf planets.
