KUNG FU LION -- Unconfirmed Darwin Award
1980s, Australia | A rather impressionable student of kung fu listened
with rapt attention when his instructor dramatically informed the
class,
"Now that you have reached this level in your training, you can kill
wild animals with your bare hands!"
The martial arts trainee took the statement as gospel, and headed to
the Melbourne zoo to test his mettle with the wildest animal of all:
the lion. In the dead of night, he slipped into the zoo, leapt into the
lion enclosure, and challenged a suitable king of the jungle in combat.
He would probably have lost a one-on-one fight, but he never got to
try.
His naive fight plan didn't account for the enthusiasm of the lion's
pride
for a tender intruder; nor did it give sufficient weight to the
possibility
that his instructor didn't konw what the hell he was talking about.
Zoo employees found his remains -- two arms and hands -- the following
morning, with shreds of red fur grasped tightly in his fingers.
