46-year-old leaps into den at Taipei Zoo, calls beasts to Christianity 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.

Nonsense. Everybody knows Lions hate Chinese food.

They don't hate it, but they knew if they ate that guy they'd just be hungry again two hours later. So they didn't bother.
... and never mind the MSG headache!
