Man gets bit by lion after trying to convert him to Christianity

[Champ]

TAIPEI (Reuters) - A man leaped into a lion's den at the Taipei Zoo to try to convert the king of beasts to Christianity, but was bitten in the leg for his efforts.


"Jesus will save you!" shouted the 46-year-old man at two African lions lounging under a tree a few metres away.


"Come bite me!" he said with both hands raised, television footage showed.


One of the lions, a large male with a shaggy mane, bit the man in his right leg before zoo workers drove it off with water hoses and tranquilliser guns.

3. LOL, how true

If he even had half a brain, he would have pulled his trick after the lions had been fed. Then he could have done his performance and had thousands upon thousands of faithfull followers heralding the "miracle" and stuffing his pockets with cash.
