Fighting lions for the economy- it's harder then it seems

[Malleus_Incus_Stapes]

And for today’s episode of You Can’t make This Stuff Up… meet Al Sayed al Essawy, wannabe gladiator!

Some highlights from the article:

Mr. Al Essawy insisted that his intent was never to kill the lion, only to force it into “surrender.”

“There are three scenarios,” said Mr. Al Essawy before the showdown. “Either the lion will surrender, withdraw or faint.”

Mr. Al Essawy refused to attack first, he said, lest the Western press portray Islam as a violent religion.

After 20 minutes of watching the swaggering and speech-making, the lion briefly roused itself for a short roar when Mr. Al Essawy thrust his spear a little too close. But when Mr. Al Essawy hardened his jaw and grinned aggressively, the lion sat down, apparently unmoved even when Mr. Al Essawy called it a coward.

Having survived, Mr. Al Essawy is preparing to up the ante. In one month’s time, he plans to fight two lions at once. Or perhaps a gorilla, he said. Or maybe a shark.

What do you think? I see a wacky screwball comedy in the making. Either that, or a new reality show.
