one lion v 42 midgets - best hoax EVER!
all right. i'm not gonna get into the history of the whole thing. suffice to say a couple guys had a debate - could 1 lion beat 42 midgets. not the most politically correct debate of all time, admittedly, but the thing turned into this huge circus, everyone thinking the battle had taken place and the lion had killed most of them! craziest story ever!! if you ARE interested in the background, here's the links to check out:
anyway, this thing has sparked a huge debate - COULD 1 lion beat 42 midgets? i say no way, the little people take it. anyone else feel like chiming in? what do YOU think?
Keep in mind that the midgets know that for them it is do or die. They are locked in the arena until the battle is over.
I personally think the midgets take this one. The lion can not take on all of the midgets at once, and the midgets knowing that this is a fight for their lives are pulling out all the stops. Imagine the lion swarmed with midgets who are clawing, biting, and scratching at the lion's skin, ears, EYES, and any other body part of the lion.
Not saying it's pretty, and not saying that a lot of midgets don't die, but I think that the lion will die while there are still some midgets left alive.
The midgets could take the lion down by sheer force of numbers, I think, if they made a concentrated attack. If the midgets panicked and just tried to get away from the lion, on the other hand, he might take it.

No way, I think a lion would destroy the midgets. The midgets would be just so scared to be able to coordinate a successful attack. Also one swipe from the lions paw would kill a midget easily.
Maybe, but the lion might not be doing much better. Lions are used to prey that doesn't fight back; in fact, if you ever find yourself face to face with a lion, one of your best chances is to run straight towards it waving your arms and screaming something--this will sometimes frighten the lion away. And here we're talking about 42 people running screaming at the lion. They're midgets, of course, so that's the equivilant of maybe 21 normal people, but it could still have a heck of an effect.
