dib Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 Unfortunately, this wasn't. Your topic title, "Lion Mangles 42 Midgets in Cambodia", was funnier. If Irv had writen the headline it might have been: Maneater mangles many midgets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
col_forbin Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 No news service would ever use the term "midget" anyway. That was your first clue that the story was false. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyDingo Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 I am so sick and tired of lions being harassed by midgets in our society. Its good to see those little people finally getting what they were asking for. Poor kitty. I just hope he isnt traumatized. In other news, I heard the troupe changes its name to the Cambodian Snackables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmac17 Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 I think it's pretty funny that a) anyone believed it and b) some of you got so worked up about it. Dude - people kill each other because they heard someone put a book in a toilet - at least let me laugh about 42 pretend midgets getting torn limb from limb, in a sea of blood by a huge, ruthless imaginary lion in some imaginary city in some country john kerry pretended he visited on Christmas day once upon a time.

brihs2005 Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 This story has a new video game or an ebaums movie written all over it. I would like my own army of midgets to play with. I bet my army of 42 midgets could take down a giraffe in less than 5 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stinky finger Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Gee I wonder if the Cambodian government is willing to donate the 50pct take it took from ticket sales to the dead persons families? yeah right 338060[/snapback] I can tell you they didn't get the lion's share.
