Zoo lion kills man who thought God would protect him


On Sunday, a man shouted to a large crowd, "Bush will protect me from terrorists!" -- wait, I mean he said, "God will protect me from lions!" before stepping into a lion cage in Kiev.

"A lioness went straight for him, knocked him down and severed his carotid artery," and killed him, said a zoo official. Link

Reader comment: M Otis Beard says: "Wow, this is oddly similar to something that happened in Taipei, Taiwan back in late 2004."
