I couldn't decide if this should be posted in "Kirk and Chapel" or "Animal Talk", so where better to decide but in the pub.

TAIPEI, Taiwan - A man leaped into a lion?s den at the Taipei Zoo on Wednesday to try to convert the king of beasts to Christianity, but was bitten in the leg for his efforts.

?Jesus will save you!? shouted the 46-year-old man at two African lions lounging under a tree a few meters away.

?Come bite me!? he said with both hands raised, television footage showed.

One of the lions, a large male with a shaggy mane, bit the man in his right leg before zoo workers drove it off with water hoses and tranquilizer guns.

Newspapers said that the lions had been fed earlier in the day, otherwise the man might have been more seriously hurt ... or worse.

Sometimes cause-and-effect works immediately.

To mis-quote Charlie the Tuna, lions don't want Christians with good taste, they want Christians who taste good.
