Musta Been A Democratic Lion

From The Hindustan Times via CultureGhost:

'Come bite me. Jesus will save you!'

Taipei, November 4

A man leaped into a lion's den at the Taipei Zoo on Wednesday to try to convert the king of beasts to Christianity, but was bitten in the leg for his efforts.

"Jesus will save you!" the 46-year-old man shouted at two African lions lounging under a tree a few metres away.

"Come bite me!" he said with both hands raised, television footage showed.

One of the lions, a large male with a shaggy mane, bit the man in his right leg before zoo workers drove it off with water hoses and tranquiliser guns.

Newspapers said that the lions had been fed earlier in the day, otherwise the man might have been more seriously hurt ... or worse

Actually, Jesus did save him. JC saw to it that the lion had been fed, and provided two handlers to bail the damn fool out.

I'm glad he's there and not here. He's stupid enough to have voted for Bush.

I wonder how Jesus is gonna bail us out.
