Man envokes god, gets eaten
 

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

Raph's Girl note: Does god exist? Sure...he thought the man was a moron so he told the lioness to eat him! :lol:

Good story, though not as good as the one that was posted at the GD forums in which the dude tried to chistian the lion.

Thou shalt not call your Lord's name in vain. :dead:

He musta been on something to try that...

Well, there's a reason for everything, I s'pose... in my own idea of what God is this type of event is completely accounted for. At the risk of pissing a bunch of people off, I'm gonna leave it at that.

Don't zookeepers get paid to keep people out of these cages?

It's fine to discuss the story, but let's please try to avoid turning this into a religious debate...

I could say so many things right now but for the better of anyone religious I won't.

But yeah...that guy is a moron.

Hahaha, dumb ass.

Sorry, Krang... I would never intentionally do something like that if it makes you feel any better...

Yea, but as a former animal keeper (dolphin/whale/sea lion) I can say that is only one of a million things we have to get done....

And besides, in this case, as in many others in life, when someone really wants to do something they'll find a way to make it happen...

Maybe if you're enough of an idiot to do that, you're not worth saving. People, yeesh...

At least, if I was a god somewhere, and some moron walked into the pen of a carnivore and said "Oh, MN shall save me" ...I'm not the flippin' babysitter.

What can I say?

We all take our place in the great Circle of Life. :ohwell:

I guess this guy was an circumference short. :P

Wow, that guy must of had issues to say the least. And while I'm in this topic, I will say that yes, God does exist. I won't say much about what spitfire said, but the number after his name is from the Bible.

LOL@Bird.:D What's he from? He's great.

he's a meme from 4chan. One that's recently caught on over here with a few people.

Oops! Even though I posted after you, your post wasn't the reason why I said that. :oops: It was in reference to a post that is now deleted.

Great! I'm going to prove everyone here wrong! I'll jump off a cliff, and if God exists, he'll save me. Oh, and don't forget to put in those really hungry sharks in at the bottom if I manage to survive the 100 foot drop. Make it a challange. :roll:

Honestly, it's good to believe and everything, but, like Mask said, if somebody jumped into a box of rabid wolves and expected me to save them, I'd let them be. The arrogent are always taken from us first, in that strange way. :cry:

[Edit: Like I said, no religious debates. Next time, you will receive a warning. --Krang]

I know :kgrin: said not to make this a religous topic. So all of us should listen to Krang:kgrin: to avoid fights.

This is my last post in this topic, anyways.

And thanks for telling me what the birds from.:D O RLY? LOL:lol:

Conan made a joke tonite on his show about this topic: (I'll paraphrase)
When asked for a comment God apologised saying, "The lions had been praying for weeks that an idiot would jump into their cage."
