Hi, I'm Adam Gidwitz, host of Grim, Grimmer, Grimmest, and I'm here to ask you to make a very grim decision. Okay, ready? Would you rather be locked in an impenetrable tower or be tossed in a bottomless pit? Now take a moment to think it over carefully. Ready? Let's hear some answers. I would rather be locked in the Unplanetable Tower. That wouldn't kill me, but going into the pit would kill me. And plus, what if I had food? And in the pit, I would not have food. Basically...
I am very, very smart. You are very, very smart because how would you get food as you're falling forever in a bottomless pit? You would probably just starve to death. That's how you would die. Whereas the tower, hey, maybe it would have food. You're right. You're smart. Let's hear another one. I would rather be locked in an impenetrable tower because most towers have windows in them so then you could get out of those and climb down so then you can survive.
Right, you could just climb out of the tower. In fact, we know a lot of stories about people in impenetrable towers like Rapunzel, and they usually end okay, even if terrible things happen in the middle. Whereas we don't know a lot of stories about people falling into bottomless pits and falling forever. that have happy endings for the person falling in the pit. So, again, great thinking. Okay, one last one. This one is really, really hard. I'd probably choose being...
tossed into a bottomless pit because then you could kind of just fall and I don't know, it'd be kind of fun, I guess. Yeah, it would be like the longest amusement park ride ever. You know, like one of those free-for-all rides, except it would never stop. If you could have a good attitude about it, you could totally just enjoy it for at least a very, very long time. I think that's true of most things in life. You just need to have a good attitude about them. Like...
Falling into a bottomless pit. Just have a good attitude. Well, thank you all for having good attitudes and great answers and helping us think through a very grim decision. Bye.
