Lioness in zoo kills man who invoked God

"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"

Got to love them crazy Christains. :lol:

@Sin,

 

that reminds me of a joke :

 

During a particularly wet winter, flood waters rise so high in one town that the national guard evacuates all the residents. One man stays behind, however, and when the water is waist-high, two national guardsmen in a boat motor past his house, checking for people left behind.

 

"We're evacuating the town because of the flood! Jump in the boat and we'll carry you to safety!"

 

But the man says, "No, don't bother; I've led a pious life, and the Lord will save me."

 

The men in the boat shrug their shoulders and motor away. Later, when the water level has driven the man onto his roof, another boat appears.

 

"Haven't you heard the town has been evacuated? Come on, we'll save you!"

 

But the man sends them away again, saying "No, no, the Lord will save me!"

 

The water level keeps rising until the man is standing on his chimney and barely keeping his head above water, and a helicopter, doing a final check, appears overhead. It drops a rope, and the loudspeaker says, "Grab the rope and we'll bring you to safety!"

 

But the man waves the helicopter away, once again saying, "No, the Lord will save me!"

 

But the water level keeps rising, and he drowns.

 

When he gets to heaven, he is completely bewildered. He asks God, "God, why didn't you save me?"

 

And God says, "Well, I sent you two boats and a helicopter."

This is definitely wacked.

 

 

In an interview this week with Minnesota Democrat Keith Ellison, who was just elected as America's first-ever Muslim member of Congress, Headline News' Glenn Beck actually asked the following question:

 

"OK. No offense, and I know Muslims. I like Muslims. I've been to mosques. I really don't believe that Islam is a religion of evil. I -- you know, I think it's being hijacked, quite frankly. With that being said, you are a Democrat. You are saying, 'Let's cut and run.' And I have to tell you, I have been nervous about this interview with you, because what I feel like saying is, 'Sir, prove to me that you are not working with our enemies.' And I know you're not. I'm not accusing you of being an enemy, but that's the way I feel, and I think a lot of Americans will feel that way."

:blink:

But the funniest part is that the interview was on CNN.

Python Retrieved from American Tank - Plumber saw head peeking out of the toilet

Urrrgh!

It's good that the phyton did not peek out of the toilet when the lady was taking a dump. :lol:

OK. To give the background. Tara Conner wone Miss USA and then proceeded to embark on a alcohol and drug binge up to the point that Donald Trump had to consider "firing" her.. He decided to give her a second chance and in a tearful press conference she promised to be good and actually fulfil her "desire to travel, and help those less fortunate than herself", or whatever bollocks these brainless bimbos promise during beauty pagents... Well, Rosie O'Donnell was not too happy about Trump's compassion and she had some fiery words for Donald Trump on The View Wednesday morning, calling him a "snake-oil salesman" following his announcement. She also said the following about Mr Trump -

 

 

The battle began on Wednesday's show, when a peeved O'Donnell said: "(He) left the first wife – had an affair. (He) had kids both times, but he's the moral compass for 20-year-olds in America. Donald, sit and spin, my friend."

So... Mr Trump fired back HERE

Mexican sewage divers submerge in murky world

 

Julio Cesar Cu wanted to be an oceanographer but instead he swims through foul-smelling sewage in underground tunnels where the occasional dead body bobs beside excrement and car parts. "I like diving as a sport. As a job I like it even more," he said. "I do a job that benefits a lot of people."

And another oddity:

Bar owner charged with obscenity for mashed spud wrestling event

 

Rhonda Cato, 48, was charged Monday with misdemeanor obscenity and violating the liquor code after what happened last Thursday at the Palace Tavern, where authorities say patrons grappled in a shallow, inflatable children's pool filled with mashed spuds.

And yet another:

Hell of a pizza angers church

 

Hell Pizza is not concerned by a call by a Catholic newspaper to boycott its products in response to a recent condom mail-out. To promote its Lust pizza, Hell distributed 170,000 condoms, along with explicit instructions on their use, to homes around the country. The Lust controversy broke out shortly before Hell was purchased by new owners Tasman Pacific Foods (TPF).

Last one from me:

BERLIN, Dec 22 (Reuters Life!) - Motorists who seem to turn off their brain when switching on their car's satellite navigation system have had a number of spectacular crashes in the past year -- but occasionally they're right to blame the machine.

 

Drivers obeying directions given by a sultry satnav voice have crashed into rivers, construction sites and roadside toilets in Germany, and had similar accidents in Britain.

 

Motorists switch satnav on, brain off

BERLIN, Dec 22 (Reuters Life!) - Motorists who seem to turn off their brain when switching on their car's satellite navigation system have had a number of spectacular crashes in the past year -- but occasionally they're right to blame the machine.

Ha ha! I like the quote in the Reuters article:

 

 

A few weeks earlier, an 80-year-old motorist also followed his satnav instead of common sense and ignored a "closed for construction" sign on a Hamburg motorway. He hit a pile of sand at high speed but was not hurt.

"I just thought the navigation system knew a shortcut," Volker Heinemann was quoted as telling a local newspaper. His car had to be towed away.
