An Egyptian Man Plans to Fight, and Maybe Kill, a Lion

[Mauso88]

Why doesn't he something worthwhile to help his country's economy, there are countless other solutions over killing an animal.
A contender for the Darwin Awards if I ever saw one.

 

[Dango]

What the hell.

Can't he come up with something less insane? Like, I don't know, a water park or something?

How would he fight a water park?

In that case, perhaps they should build a water park and have him fight the lion on the water slides?

 

[MagicMouse]

I honestly hope that this guy gets torn apart in a matter of seconds.

There is no reason for him to fight a lion, and it is an almost impossible idea.

Even if he won, all it would say to me is "Don't go to Egypt, those guys are idiots."

 

[Xpwn3ntial]

What the hell.

Can't he come up with something less insane? Like, I don't know, a water park or something?

Because while less insane, opening a water park is less awesome than fighting a lion. Silly.

OT: Props to him. If he lives, I want to shake his hand, assuming he still has one.

 

[Alex Berry]

"GGGRRRR, I'm so manly I need something to show how manly I am"
*sees lion*
"I know I'll fight a lion with my bare hands to show my manliness, HAVE AT YOU LION"

My money is on the big beast with sharp claws and sharp teeth, look on the bright side if he dies how many people can say they died fighting a lion.

Who would be able to say anything?

 

[CommanderKirov]

Well say what you want about him, but the guy has the balls.

Hopefully the poor Lion won't choke on them after he rips him to shreds.

 

[Siberian Relic]

how many people can say they died fighting a lion.

Well, seeing as how they'd all be DEAD....

 

[Dfskelleton]

I'm Not sure how beating the crap out of a lion is going to restore order to his country, but I can genuinely respect random acts of badassery, no matter how stupid they may be.
Of course, PETA's not going to sit still on this.

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

My money's on the lion, but that man has more balls than any of us for wanting to fight a lion.

 

[ShadowsofHope]

I'd watch it.

The lion is going to tear him a new one, but I don't care. On the very off chance he actually does win, it'd be amusing in the very least.

And in other news tonight, Egypt's first darwin award has been presented to the next of kin of that one guy who decided to get into a fistfight with a lion...

 

[Canid117]

Chances are this guy is no stronger than your average adult male so my money is on the lion.

 

[tokae]

OHYEAH!
That's how you do it!!!!
I really don't think that it can be done, but IF that lion bites the dust, this dude should be crowned king of the universe!

 

[Trivun]

My thoughts? They should show this on Sky Sports, on pay-per-view, but first have a special 'Lion Day' on all Sky and Virgin Media channels where they show repeats of kid-friendly lion things, particularly Disney's The Lion King and it's sequels/spin-offs. Then when kids are happily watching those shows, have the channels switch to the fight, and have them watch the guy get eaten.

Yeah, I'm a particularly sadistic and cruel kind of guy ;D...

 

[Fwee]

They might end up clipping the lion's claws, or putting a muzzle on it just to even the odds a bit. I'll be more excited when they do the weigh-ins.

 

[muller93]

come back when you figth a bear

 

[BabySinclair]

Human. Dependant on tools for most of his adult life. For his long childhood, dependant on his guardians.

Lion; Greater strength, speed, agility, range, size, natural weapons, no morality.

He's going to be eaten.

This pretty much sums it up, we evolved to use tools and we would be near the bottom of the animal world if we didn't have them, at least the lion won't go hungry.

 

[ImprovizoR]

It's a damn shame that I'm not surprised by such news.

 

[Detective Prince]

Who looks at a lion and thinks "that's what I need to fight!"

A LION. Big teeth, big claws, huge compact muscles, made for ripping other LIONS apart.

I want to see what goes through this guy's mind on a daily basis...
