Would you rather..... and other top headliines

Not produce related, but lately I've been watching the BBC/HBO series The Extras and bring to you these "would you rather" questions from the childish but endearing Maggie. Go to this link for the answer from Andy. You may see these top five would you rather questions from Maggie in coming Fresh Talk polls if I run out of produce fodder.

#1 - Would you rather have a bionic arm or a bionic leg?

#2 - Would you rather die of the cold of die of the heat?

#3 - Would you rather have your face and body but the brain of a chimpanzee or be a chimpanzee but have your human brain?

#4 - Would you rather wake up and find your teeth have fallen out or your hair has fallen out?

#5 - Would you rather be a penguin who's a bird but can't fly or a flying fish that's a fish that can fly a bit?
