Lion defeats 42 midget gladiators

How shocking... Thank god it didn't happen.
 
I'd file this with the virus that turns people into zombies. That's not even the bbc webpage.
 
I thought it was the bbc's webpage, until I read it.. then checked the url :P
 
Lions R teh shit!!11 They B killin anyone they want :O

...did I mention that I'm a lion myself?
 
Id kick a lions ass in. It would be all like "Growl growl growl growl" and I would be all "You really want to try it, bitch?" and then it would be all running away and stuff.

"An African Lion (Panthera Leo) was shipped to centrally located Kâmpóng Chhnãng especially for the event, which took place last Saturday, April 30, 2005 in the city’s coliseum."
 
Click on the link and look at the URL. Its supposed to "www.bbc....", instead its some other link.
 
It says that a lion mutilated forty-two midgets but the picture says that the lion mutilated twenty-eight midgets. I don't believe any of this stuff. Does anybody know if people have been known to take on lions?

The romans for a start.
 
Should have infected the midgets with that virus. Then lets see the lion take them down.
 
Some of them would have. But then, humanity's capability to fight, is only a small percentage held with the body's natural weapons.

Don't forget to throw in ninja-pirates to keep things spicy. Even so I'd still put my money on 48 zombie-virus midgets

Yes, for entertainment they used to put criminals unarmed against lions.
Lots of different events happened, often people would have weapons and armour, lions and other animals were used as well as fighting between humans.
Often if a criminal could beat another man or take down a lion he could go free.
You think how brutal the fights are between 2 criminals that would otherwise die that are given the option "die or kill the other person and be free"

Certainly was popular entertainment back then.

As for fighting a lion, you are pretty ****ed really.....they are massively strong.
If i had a weapon i could deal with one reasonably effectively, a plunge of even just a short knife into its ribs or neck should eventually kill it.
The only way you could kill a lion with your hands would be to continually punch it in the throat as hard as you can.....you'd die though.
 
I'm sure you'd get plenty of opportunity to just...plunge your knife into the lion's rib cage. Hey why not scratch the fericious half starved little tinker behind the ear so he might roll over and expose his weak spot.

Where there ever events where a man won? I could imagine Bruce Lee beating down a lion.

Ummmm there were probably like 20 people in the entire roman history that won bare handed against a lion, 99.99% of unarmed people would have been killed almost straight away, however, if they could avoid the lion for long enough they might be given the thumbs up (you'd have to be bloody good at running)
There is the classic story of that guy removing the thorn from the lions foot and then meeting the same lion in the ring, the lion remembered the favor and did not attack (though like most myths and legends it is probably a load of shit)

Armed people (people with a shield, armour and a weapon) stood some chance of winning if they were good, probably about 15% survived against lions, a lot would be killed, lions were mainly used for killing entertainment, not victor entertainment as with human v human.
