Deb: What are you drawing? Napoleon Dynamite: A liger. Deb: What’s a liger? Napoleon Dynamite: It’s pretty much my favorite animal. It’s like a lion and a tiger mixed… bred for its skills in magic. ---

> [@Really\_Not\_All\_That\_Bright](#): > > No, but now I wonder whether a silver lion could beat a silver tiger in a fight. Since leucistic cats generally involve serious inbreeding, I think it’s more likely that they’ll both roll around on the ground like doofuses. However, white tigers are bigger than normal tigers, and I’m not seeing any references that white lions are the same. So maybe the tiger could just sit on the lion. ---

I didn’t bother to read his cites, I’m 55 and won’t live long enough. But I think I’ll save the thread for the next time someone on this board asks me for a cite. “Here you go, one of these several hundred links proves my point, the others are about lions and tigers.” That ought to shut 'em up. Did anyone bother to point out that lions and tigers will never meet in the wild? He must have bought the “Big ol’ Box of Apostrophes” at Costco. ---
