I look forward to the big midgets fighting a grizzly bear.
I didn't know that Cambodians were Muslim.
"DOWN GOES TATOO"
De Painnn... De Painnn!!!
How about the Lion wasn't fed for a week and was injected with meth just before the fight? Just a theory.
Say it isn't so .... I wanted to see the video
Gawd! You have to be a hoot in real life Laz! That's twice today you've had me rolling!
But how would the Lions do against the Bears?
Is this a joke? The Onion?
FAKE FAKE FAKE

Lion 42, Midgets 0
Answering the age-old question, "In a battle royal between 42 unarmed little people and an African lion, who would win?" a news story purportedly issued by the BBC took the Blogosphere by storm this past week by reporting that just such a face-off took place in Cambodia on April 30, leaving all 42 midgets dead or injured.
Come to find out (I'm shocked... shocked!), the story isn't true, nor did it originate from BBC News.
"If you haven't already guessed, the article is fake," writes the actual, anonymous author of the piece in an after-the-fact disclaimer. "It was created to 'settle' a dispute between a friend of mine [sic] in which he claimed that 40 weaponless midgets could defeat 1 lion in a hypothetical fight," the prankster explains. "The link to where the article was posted was not intended to spread outside of the initial group of guys in the argument, but as I was alerted it had been posted on collegehumor.com, fark.com, and several other web forums, it has spread far beyond that."

Read this on Friday. Couldn't stop laughing. Then I found out it was a hoax.
Truthfully, I am much funnier in print than I am in reality.
Chinese proverb say air smell different to midget on crowded elevator.
...and then I couldn't stop crying.
Apologies to all. This is a hoax. I received the questionable link in an email from a co-worker. Sorry for wasting everyone's time!
ROFL!
