I'm not, ahhhh

I...:confused:

KIEV, Ukraine - A man shouting that God would keep him safe was mauled to death by a lioness in the Kiev zoo after he crept into the animal's enclosure, a zoo official said Monday.

“The man shouted, ‘God will save me, if he exists,’ lowered himself by a rope into the enclosure, took his shoes off and went up to the lions,” the official said.

“A lioness went straight for him, knocked him down and severed his carotid artery.”

The incident on Sunday evening, when the zoo was packed with visitors, was the first of its kind at the attraction. Lions and tigers are kept in an "animal island" protected by thick concrete blocks.

TAIPEI, Taiwan - 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!” shouted the 46-year-old man at two African lions lounging under a tree a few meters 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 tranquilizer guns.

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

SEOUL, South Korea - A South Korean man upset at not being able to find a job protested his plight by climbing into a zoo pen with a pair of rhinoceroses.

Police and zoo officials said on Monday that the man, identified only by his family name Lee, went to the zoo in the capital Seoul over the weekend and tried at first to draw attention to himself by breaking into an enclosure housing giraffes,

Zookeepers prevented him from climbing the fence of that enclosure, but he broke free and scaled the fence of a pen housing a pair of rhinos known for having a mean streak, the officials said.

Lee spent only a few moments with the rhinos and climbed a tree in the enclosure where he remained for about four hours, shouting out to visitors about how he had lost his job and other bad breaks in life, they said.

The zookeepers moved the animals into separate pens, officials said, before police and firefighters placed mattresses under the tree and persuaded Lee to come down.

"I jumped into the cage because I've become desperate after not having found a job for such a long time," a police officer quoted Lee as saying.

Police questioned Lee and released him.

I just saw that. Hilarity.

If I ever lose my job, I will now have a fall back plan. Endanger my life to get public attention so I can complain to them about it.

They finally realised humans weren't listening so they preached and complained to the animals. I wonder if it counts as animal cruelty..

I am confused. Was the man trying to convert the lions to Christianity, trying to demonstrate the non-existance of God, being depressed about work or what ?
Can the newsagencies not make up their minds ?

They were three different stories all of which happened in the last few days. It's like someone put LSD in the air or something.

This is...unfortunate. You can't just say 'God will protect me' and then go do something stupid and expect not to get hurt. It doesn't work like that. God or no God if your an idiot and you do something stupid your gonna get hurt. It's people like that that give religion a bad name...

Only one of them went in to try to prove God exists. One of teh other guys went in to convert the lions to Christianity and the guy who went in the Rhino cage went in because he can't get a job.

As for the animals ... they're all a little bit testy since the keepers have had the tube on around them for a few days - the beasties have had enough of "The 700 Club", Jack Van Impe, Robertson and Falwell... and figured nature needed to restore balance somewhere. Perhaps if they'd get off that whole "666" bullsh*t ... especially bullsh*t considering it's actually "616".

A few years ago, a martial arts nutcase in Oz broke into a zoo, to take on the lions (or maybe it was a tiger) to prove how tough he was, and how good his martial arts training was.
They found parts of him the next morning.

God helps those who help themselves. And if you test God, you takes your lumps.

I'm gonna go with it. Gender infers a means to propagate itself, which if it were truly god, wouldn't be the case.

God put lions in cages for a reason.

So stuff like this doesn't happen.
