Lion Mutilates 42 Midgets in Cambodian Ring-Fight

[Eddie Teach]

Now, just how many midgets would it take to subdue a lion?  Maybe this hoax needs to be tested anyway. 

Then who will serve salsa at Malthus's parties?

[Admiral Yi]

I think it would take 2,000 midgets.

Only about 20 at a time can apply leverage to the lion, and the lion can beat those odds.  So you need to wear the lion out.

That sounds about right. Also it would matter if the lion gets a running start in a wide open space or they are on him the moment he is let loose.

I wonder if it would make a difference if they wear wrestling outfits with masks and capes? Or if the lion wears a wrestling outfit? 

[Admiral Yi]

I assumed an enclosed space like a bull ring and no mask for the lion.

[Eddie Teach]

It only takes 3 or 4 hyenas, I figure 20 midgets would be enough.

[DGuller]

I would agree with Yi's train of thought.  Midgets can't really restrict the lion's range of motion, regardless of their numbers.  The lion would always be able to break free.  Therefore they have to wait until the lion is tired from all this breaking free action to go for the kill.

The only alternative is for the midgets to somehow figure out a way to form a pile on top of the lion, and have that pile hold together well enough for a couple of minutes.  If they can do that, then the lion will suffocate fairly quickly either from lack of fresh air, or from chest constriction.  A lot of midgets would suffocate too, but probably way less than with the first strategy.

There was a field test 11 years ago when a forumite fought off a horde of humans less than half his size.

Well done. 

[Capetan Mihali]

I'm sensing a katmai joke, but I don't quite get it.

[Admiral Yi]

I figured it had something to do with Viking.

[Eddie Teach]

I think it was Spellus.

[DGuller]

Hint:  Seedy banned him.

[Capetan Mihali]

Ah.

I miss those days.  I can't believe I just cleared a decade on this board last fall.

[Valmy]

Hint:  Seedy banned him.

Ah yeah I remember that.
