Some great submissions! I said I would be judging on creativity and correct-ness, and there were some really creative answers:
ANNOUNCER: *WE NOW RETURN TO THE ADVENTURES OF DETECTIVE CREAM, THE PRIVATE ICE WITH A HEART TO MATCH*
SLIPPERY SAM (voiced by James Lipton): "Oh ho ho, *phklbipchlichth* We are not so different, you and I."
SLIPPERY SAM pulls a LEVER, which slides a lens out of the observatory's telescope and into the stripe of SUNLIGHT open through the roof. His milky-blue gaze fixes on CREAM.
SLIPPERY SAM: "Two sides of the same pyramid, really."
CREAM struggles against CRYSTALS which have fused him to the CATWALK, which is being chilled by a CHILLING MACHINE.
CREAM: "I'm nothing like you! That pyramid is founded on grain, and last I checked, there's no grain in the ocean."
SLIPPERY SAM: "Yet we both carry eggs within us. The promise of life [beat] diverted."
SLIPPERY SAM presses a BUTTON, which positions the lens like a magnifying glass.
SLIPPERY SAM: "And when put under the heat, we go [beat] baaaaaad" (LAUGHTER)
The focal point of the magnified SUNLIGHT moves toward CREAM's private dick.
CREAM: "You won't get away with this!"
SLIPPERY SAM: "But that's what we DO, Mister Cream. The three-ness of one's omegas, the vitamins, mere window dressing. We all fill the void one way or another, and then we get away. Down tube after tube. Well I think it's time, to cut out the middle man."
ANNOUNCER: *WILL OUR HERO MELT FREE BEFORE HE MELTS FOR GOOD? WILL HIS SIDEKICK JIMMY GET HIM OUT OF THIS JAM? TUNE IN FOR THE NEXT EPISODE OF CREAM TO FIND OUT!*
They are both coded anagrams for support of the muslim faith. 'a fish' is clearly 'Hafis'(another spelling of Hafiz) means one who remembers,specifically refering to the full memorization of the Quran. While 'ice cream' is of course 'Mecca Rei', with Rei being the nominative plural of Reus, an old word for civil law, thereby clearly support the old laws of Mecca, birthplace of Muhammad. Both fish and ice cream are bonded in their support of the faith.
But those entries lacked the correct-ness I was looking for, which these entries had:
My answer for immunity is Alaska/Alaskans
Alaskans eat more ice cream per capita then the rest of the country. Furthermore, many Alaskans survive by eating fish throughout the year. It's safe to say many Alaskans can claim the top two foods they eat are ice cream and fish.
A question older than time itself. It was Socrates who once said, "da homo a pisces et manducare glacies crepito." Or, give a man a fish, and he will eat ice cream. This, no matter how falsely attributed, if nothing else, helps establish the root of this query beyond antiquity. However, I do not believe this satisfactorily answers the question. To that end, I offer a simple, one word solution. How is a fish like ice cream? Dampish.
Read in an Italian-esque accent:
"Dey are both trouble when de time comes to do de scaling."
They are both created in a salty solution.
In the end, I went with this answer, which I felt had a good dose of both truth and flair:
"they both make you worry about scales."
So congrats to Son for winning the second immunity challenge. Thanks all for playing!
