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.
One has to wonder if Jesus was stifling a few chuckles as all of this went down.

i went home yesterday feeling sick as a dog and proceeded to lose that delicious lunch i had at work. i felt awful...like i picked up a bug...both my nieces have been sick and the youngest still hasn't mastered covering her mouth as she coughs. i may or may not have picked up something from them...
ms. orangehead decided that my sleeping past 4:30am was just too much for her to bear so she decided to knock a plant off the small table that holds about 6 plants. luckily, there wasn't anything planted in it at the moment, unfortunately, the pot was still filled with potting soil. i got up, walked to the livingroom, saw it on the floor (orangehead was ducked behind the chair) and decided to head back to bed and clean it later. i'm so exhausted, i don't have the energy to be pissed.
it's Thursday. almost Friday. woo-hoo.
I am so hooked on Lost (ABC 8pm) i've always liked Matthew Fox, plus he's a real cutie pie. ;-)
not much else. am looking forward to having holidays off.
looking forward to listening to U2's new album. Vertigo rocks.
ciao&meowoof!
