I've forgotten who said that but he was right.

The video will horrify us all on the internet within a week, no doubt.

Amazing they let it last 12 mintues!  I did see a video a tiger killing a croc.  Wonderful creatures.



(And Cernunos, I just noticed your signature!  That is too much!).

according to the article, no cameras were allowed inside.

while i know that people sneak cameras into all sorts of places, i'm hoping in this case that no video or stills will emerge.

i ran some statistical analyses of that fight.  it is my opinion that if they had a squad of 53 or more midgets, the outcome would have been reversed.

it is unfortunate that they did not take into account the voracity of the lion, as it relates to consumption of midget hemoglobin (Hbm).  it is common knowledge that the mutated Hbm molecules, when consumed, activate several secondary cascades which positively influence the psychosympathic drive of a mammal.

taking this into account, it is obvious that either the midget squad had to be larger, or the midgets themselves should have had their (h)BM for breakfast.

Even if it is fake look at the related internet links. Haha.


RELATED INTERNET LINKS:
-Cambodian government
-WildFacts- Lion
-Cambodian genocide programme
The BBC is not responsible for the content of external internet sites

"-Cambodian genocide programme" That's bad.

the sorry part about the whole thing is...... i could acctualy see something like this really being true.


But i would wager it would only take 6 midgets to kill the lion.





one on each leg to keep it ancored the 5th to Kick the lion in the nuts right before the 6th lodges himself in the lions throat.

Are the midgets armed, or unarmed?   In a related question, has anybody ever seen a little person riding a pocket bike?

Maybe we can just start supplying bad puns:
For the lion, is was no small feat.

Alright, that was bad. Any others?

You kidding right ... A lion can jump a 12 foot fence with a full sized buffalo in its jaws ... a midget is going to be tossed like a golf ball hit with a 2 iron ...
Cool.

warwick davis killed a hydra all by himself in Willow.  I guess he had a sword, though.
