Well that thread is going fine and it has the potential to be a classic. Still I’m a tiny bit disappointed. I dropped Godwin’s Law into it and not even a single bite. :smack: ---

I thought it kind of sad he thought all those thread views were a sign that poeple were sincerely interested in his cites and his totally meaningless obsession with lions and tigers. There’s so much more to life! Like, well, _having_ one. ---

Can I claim credit for killing the thread with my Liliger [post](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=15502436&postcount=231)? Or am I being naive, and it’s simply that the internet has been emptied of cites? ---

I choose to believe that he is redoubling his efforts and will bring us more cites to prove his point that, um, well something. I’m not sure I could pick up what his point was. Something about cites I think. ---

> [@Ken001](#): > > Oh leave him alone team. It’s a didactic thread which will die of natural causes. No harm done, this is the quirky stuff which makes life interesting. Seconded. And it’s not like there are never “What animal would win that fight?” regular threads. For once we get the answer, and properly cited, not based on guesswork. That’s of limited usefulness, but you could argue it’s proper ignorance-fighting, in fact. And you never know when your life might depend on picking the correct side between a lion and a tiger. After all, the straightdope taught me for instance not to eat polar bear’s liver too and many equally “useful” “facts”. I find vaguely interesting to know that a lion would likely win if pitched against a tiger. Finally, I wouldn’t be much surprised if many a scholar was dedicating his whole life to studying an equally silly topic that somehow fascinates him. ---

Dude is definitely a bit touched, god bless his little ol’ soul. But the funniest part to me is that, on a messageboard stupposably dedicated to fighting ignorance, the greatest collection of information about any topic just happens to be about lions v. tigers. ---
