How many midgets does it take to kill a lion??? Full PM-box? Change here!

Apparantly more than 42. I know this is horrible but

Lion Mutilates 42 Midgets in Cambodian Ring-Fight

An African Lion much like this is responsible for the death of 28 Cambodian Midgets
Spectators cheered as entire Cambodian Midget Fighting League squared off against African Lion
Tickets had been sold-out three weeks before the much anticipated fight, which took place in the city of Kâmpóng Chhnãng.

The fight was slated when an angry fan contested Yang Sihamoni, President of the CMFL, claiming that one lion could defeat his entire league of 42 fighters.

Sihamoni takes great pride in the league he helped create, as was conveyed in his recent advertising campaign for the CMFL that stated his midgets will "... take on anything; man, beast, or machine."

This campaign is believed to be what sparked the undisclosed fan to challenge the entire league to fight a lion; a challenge that Sihamoni readily accepted.

An African Lion (Panthera Leo) was shipped to centrally located Kâmpóng Chhnãng especially for the event, which took place last Saturday, April 30, 2005 in the city’s coliseum.

The Cambodian Government allowed the fight to take place, under the condition that they receive a 50% commission on each ticket sold, and that no cameras would be allowed in the arena.

The fight was called in only 12 minutes, after which 28 fighters were declared dead, while the other 14 suffered severe injuries including broken bones and lost limbs, rendering them unable to fight back.

Sihamoni was quoted before the fight stating that he felt since his fighters out-numbered the lion 42 to 1, that they “… could out-wit and out-muscle [it].”

Unfortunately, he was wrong.

I think 42 midgets could beat a lion. Well, it probably depends on what they are armed with, but I bet if they all had a gladius it would be an easy win.

Hmmm.... they could try to send one out as bait and then jump it. If there is one thing I learned from Pikmin, it is that swarms of little guys can take down really big things if you are positioned correctly.

The Midget's best bet would be to send 10 of their own on a suicide mission to die. The Lion eats them, strips their corpses of flesh, and falls asleep. The remaining 32 Midgets take the bones(carefully!) and attempt to fashion weapons with them.

If they had weapons the lion wouldn't have a chance. They just need to move in from all directions at the same time with a slow steady pace, keeping their weapons between the lion and themselves at all times.

In New York City in the 19th century they used to have crazy animal fights.

10 Pit Bulls versus a bear

100 rats versus a Pit Bull

Rats got ow3d.

But the pit bulls got pwn3d by the bear

I think the lion would own the bear

yeah unbelievable story, but then again in Cambodia, one had to think 'this might be actually true'. Crazy things happens in there anyway... the land of for G's (as the travelling show taught me): Guns, Girls, Ganja and Gambling. Anything can happen, if you have the money for it.

I think it ought to be a midget lion if we're to speculate on how many midgets it would take.

Too bad none of the midgets were Christians. They did well in some cases against lions in Roman times.

I think the midgets would win, but it would be close. It all depends on how many midgets are lost in the initial attacks. But even if half of the midgets are mauled, 21 midgets could still take the lion down. 15 midgets hold the lion down while the remaining 6 strangle it.
