The Onion is a comedy site, a very good one (fooled me once, never again).

Sayed al Essawy, an Egyptian who claims to be the world’s strongest man, announced he will be fighting a 10-year-old, 230 kg lion, in front of the pyramids, to boost his country’s tourism business.

I know it sounds silly, but Sayed is very serious about his plan, despite international outrage from animal activists. He claims he discovered his incredible strength when he was only 13, and almost immediately afterwards promised himself he would one day fight a lion. With the current state of the economy in Egypt, because of the recent revolution, Sayed al Essawy thought this was the perfect time to fulfill his childhood dream and at the same time boost his country’s tourism business by promoting the fight.

In an interview with Al Masry Al Youm, Essawy confessed there is also a very serious political message that he wants to send. After he has vanquished the lion, he wants to place an Israeli flag on its body and put his foot on it. He says it was Israel who pushed him to do this, with all the atrocities they committed while he was growing up, and now he wants to prove that even though Israel and America are as strong as lions, they can still be defeated by the Arab youth, which is about to explode…

Sayed al Essawy says the lion is currently housed on a friend’s farm, and that he hasn’t spent much time with it, for fear he might become too attached to it. Although the fight will take place in a cage, he plans to give the feline a fair chance, by not administering it any tranquilizers, and by fighting it with his bare hands. The Egyptian strong man says he’s even developed a new fighting style, especially for this epic confrontation, called “Life or Death”, but that the most important training method has been meditation. He visualizes the fight for two hours at a time, anticipating all the ways the lion could attack him and the best ways to dodge his charges. He claims he has no fear for his life, and that he’s actually more worried about the lion. He has also fought aggressive dogs in the past, so he has a little experience with animals…

As you’ve probably already guessed, Sayed hasn’t managed to get all the permits he needs to stage the fight in front of the pyramids, especially after the international outrage from animal activists. The would-be lion fighter claims he is disappointed by their reaction, and claims they misunderstood his intentions. He doesn’t intend to of kill the big cat, but he is prepared to do it, if the lion gives him no other choice. If the animal acknowledges his strength, backs away and lets Sayed tie him up, he will spare his life, but if it turns into a life or death situation, he might be forced to kill him, with his bare hands. When is fighting a lion not a matter of life or death, right? But I’m not worried about the lion, if Sayed actually plans to fight fair…

If he doesn’t get all the approvals he needs, Sayed al Essawy plans to stage the fight in a secret location and invite just a few important journalists able to spread the news about his bravery and incredible strength, and deliver his message to the world. After he defeats the king of the jungle, the self-proclaimed world’s strongest man wants to pull  an airplane with his teeth, with his hair, get run over by a plane and stage more lion fights in-between.

My money is on that man..

that's why we named as (pharaohs)
pharaohs in arabic means (the man who can make anything),nothing can stop him...

If the lion has no teeth and no claws like they do to bears when they kill bears with dogs in so called "fights" then my money is on the man.

If the lion is not drugged or injured before hand and has its claws and teeth and is not fed for two days before the fight my money is on the lion.

Most lions spend most of their time sleeping when they are not pinching food off their pack of female lionesses that do all the hunting. Other than scaring away non related male lions they do little else most of the time.

Having said that one swipe from those claws and even big men covered in muscles are in trouble... big muscles wont stop razor sharp claws or teeth.

Having said that he is doing this for his country and as a political message to Israel and the US... good luck to him.

The lion is complete, teeth and claws are working well
and this is the disaster

how could ?!
we will see...tomorrow

My money is on lion.

Of course it depends on the setup.

If the lion is not hungry it is perfectly possible that it might avoid a fight and have more interest in finding a nice spot in the shade to lie down in.

However if it is cornered, or angry... well even the biggest muscles are no use if the lion swipes you with its claws and removes those muscles from your bones.

Very brave of this guy to do this and I wish him the best of luck... but I think the lion will win.

Sounds like he respects the lion... even if he underestimates its power or perhaps overestimates his own strength.

A Lion can bring down a kill large animals including horses and Rhino... animals far stronger than any human.

Don't be mean!

He said all along that he didn't want to hurt the lion and it was a test of courage for him.

He also made it clear that this was about trying to get Egyptians to realise their own courage and to stand up... which is a good message for everyone I think... though I disagree with him on fighting lions as being the best way... it certainly got the attention he wanted.

If he challenged a small budgie to a fight I doubt we would have even heard about it.

He got his message out so in that sense he was successful.

fighting wasn't so exciting..

the lion attacked the man just once,the man resist with his shield,and get back ...this is all

the man said he could kill the lion و, but he refused to do that..

OK... clearly a language problem here...

He clearly has a shield and a spear in the photos and is also wearing some sort of body protection.

"With his bare hands" suggests he will do this without weapons or protection.

it's still alion

It is a real lion, but lion tamers in the circus do similar stuff with a chair and a whip.

Unless a lion is actually hungry it can be very uninterested in killing people.

Corner it and annoy it or simply get in its way and there will be trouble but most of the time these guys sit in the shade of trees while a pack or lionesses go out and do the real hunting and killing.

Once the kill has taken place the lion will go in and take his pick of the meal but if you want to fight the real king of the jungle you need to take on 5-10 lionesses that are hungry...

Yup. I rofl'd

I loled.

Same old stereotypes played here. Anyway I laughed at some of them and some of them I had no idea what it meant.

Can I say this ... I am Ivan Vanko's biggest fan .

Kindergartener interrogated over cap gun until he pees his pants, then suspended 10 days

Posted By Eric Owens On 8:28 AM 05/31/2013 In Education | No Comments


In the latest incident of anti-gun hysteria to erupt in a school setting, a kindergarten boy has been suspended from school for 10 days because he showed a friend his cowboy-style cap gun on the way to school.

The incident happened on Wednesday morning at about 8:30 a.m. on a school bus in Calvert County, Maryland, reports The Washington Post.

The kindergartener had brought the toy gun because his friend had brought a water gun the previous day. He later told his mother than he “really, really” wanted his friend to see it.

The suspended boy had acquired the menacing, plastic, orange-tipped weapon at Frontier Town, a western-themed campground with a water park, mini golf and the like.

School officials at Dowell Elementary School in the town of Lusby proceeded to question the five-year-old for over two hours before finally calling his mother, whom The Post also does not name.

The principal eventually called the boy’s mother at 10:50 a.m. By that time, the five-year-old had wet his pants (which the mother called highly unusual).

The principal told the boy’s mother that the boy had simulated shooting someone on the bus with the offending novelty. However, both the boy and his older sister, a first-grader, say the principal is not telling the truth.

The Post explains that the principal — Jennifer L. Young, according to Dowell Elementary’s website — told the kindergartener’s mother that things would have been even worse had the toy gun been loaded with caps. In that case, the school would have regarded the plaything as an explosive and called the police.

“I have no problem that he had a consequence to his behavior,” the mother told the Post. “What I have a problem with is the severity.”

The mother is also upset about the trauma her son experienced without her knowledge.

“Why were we not immediately contacted?” she asked

The 10-day suspension is officially for possessing a look-alike gun, notes the Post. If the suspension is not lifted, the kindergartener won’t be able to go to school the rest of the year. The suspension will also be part of his permanent academic record.

The family has hired an attorney, Robin Ficker, who has managed to become something of a national legal expert in amazing overreactions by school officials over things that aren’t actual guns.

Ficker appealed the suspension on the family’s behalf on Thursday. On Friday, there will be a disciplinary conference.

The attorney noted that the the boy’s age is an essential factor when considering the punishment and the school’s actions.

“Kids play cowboys and Indians,” Ficker told The Post. “They play cops and robbers. You’re talking about a little five-year-old here.”

This incident is the second incident of anti-gun hysteria to erupt in a school setting in as many weeks. There have been many others over the course of this academic year as well.

A six-year-old boy was punished because he took a plastic Lego gun roughly the size of a quarter on a school bus headed to Old Mill Pond Elementary School in Palmer, Mass. (RELATED: Kindergartener gets detention, forced to apologize for tiny Lego gun)

An eighth-grader in West Virginia was suspended and, astonishingly, arrested after he refused to remove a t-shirt supporting the National Rifle Association returned to school on Monday. The courageous 14-year-old then returned to school wearing exactly the same shirt, which depicts a hunting rifle with the statement “protect your right.” (RELATED: Eighth-grader arrested over NRA shirt returns to school in same shirt)

Officials at an elementary school in small-town Michigan impounded a third-grader boy’s batch of 30 homemade birthday cupcakes because they were adorned with green plastic figurines representing World War Two soldiers. The school principal branded the military-themed cupcakes “insensitive” in light of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. (RELATED: School confiscates third-grader’s cupcakes topped with toy soldiers)

At Genoa-Kingston Middle School in northeast Illinois, a teacher threatened an eighth-grader with suspension if he did not remove his t-shirt emblazoned with the interlocking rifles insignia of the United States Marines.

At Park Elementary School in Baltimore, Maryland, a student was suspended for two days because his teacher thought he shaped a strawberry, pre-baked toaster pastry into something resembling a gun. (RELATED: Second-grader suspended for having breakfast pastry shaped like a gun)

At Poston Butte High School in Arizona, a high school freshman was suspended for setting a picture of a gun as the desktop background on his school-issued computer. (RELATED: Freshman suspended for picture of gun)

At D. Newlin Fell School in Philadelphia, school officials reportedly yelled at a student and then searched her in front of her class after she was found with a paper gun her grandfather had made for her. (RELATED: Paper gun causes panic)

In rural Pennsylvania, a kindergarten girl was suspended after she told another girl that she planned to shoot her with a pink Hello Kitty toy gun that bombards targets with soapy bubbles. (RELATED: Kindergartener suspended for making ‘terroristic threat’ with Hello Kitty bubble gun)

At Roscoe R. Nix Elementary School in Maryland, a six-year-old boy was suspended for making the universal kid sign for a gun, pointing at another student and saying “pow.” That boy’s suspension was later lifted and his name cleared. (RELATED: Pow! You’re suspended, kid)

Yeah... pathetic over reactions by people clearly afraid of losing their jobs for not reacting early enough...

I remember reading recently about a deaf kid that had to learn a different sign language because his name was Hunter and the sign for that name in the sign language he knew was to hold your two fingers out like a pistol with your thumb as the hammer...

So how would they react to this

Hahahah

It common here to see Bikers riding their bikes on foot path to avoid traffic jam on parallel/adjacent road, So if you are walking on footpath and find some one honking dont be surprised to find a bike on foothpath for company.

For your viewing pleasure found a video too.... pretty close to where I work .

Should give an idea about the traffic and the state of our roads and foot path
