Lion vs. Midgets
A faux BBC news article describing a match between one lion and 42 unarmed midget fighters has been linked to by a lot of sites. However, the article is now clearly labelled as a fake. Apparently what inspired the article was a debate some guy was having with his friend about who would win in a hypothetical fight between one lion and 40 weaponless midgets. He created the fake BBC piece in order to convince his friend that the lion would win. Personally, I don't think it matters if it were 40 midgets or 40 pro-basketball players. The lion would still win, because a lion has claws and sharp teeth, and people don't. Plus, the lion is a lot stronger. Incidentally, I just learned that 'midget' is considered a derogatory term. But I don't think the author of the faux article was too concerned about being PC.

He mentioned how Little People (capitalized, I guess, so we know it's refering to shortness disorders) can't join the army under any circumstances. Well, the army never takes someone in who isn't willing to go to war at some point, do they? Be kinda unfair to those People of Ordinary Stature who already have comfy desk jobs.

Not letting you join the army is favoritism, not discrimination.

yes batman would win for all the above reasons and for the fact that BATMAN THINKS AHEAD... do you think batman would get into a fight with superman without having about 5000 aces up his sleeve? he wouldn... cos batman thinks ahead and sets traps...

It's funny how these things come around. I've received the midget/lion email many times myself. This website has it listed as one of the most common searches on their site. From IndependentSources.com (http://independentsources.com/2005/05/26/thank-you-google-for-making-us-the-4-site-for-cambodian-midget-fighting-leagues/#comments)

Here’s the last 13 searches to come through in the past 20 minutes:

This is easy. The midgets would win if they were well organized. I would just feed the midgets to the lion one by one until the lion gets full and has a nap. And then the remaning midgets can sneak up on him. Simple.

Would a midget army of 42 be able to beat a great white shark in a 100m x 100m tank,

The midgets would have snorkels
