Shabbos Roundup
Yesterday was the first of a pair of super gala shabboses that we will be participating in before we leave on our trip. Here are some lessons we learned...
-a rotting duck carcass can really improve the ambience of a dira kitchen.
- having 10-15 leftover pieces of snitchel during the nine days is really frustrating for a variety of reasons.
-always go to the earliest mincha, to maximize sleeping time.
-a good thing to randomly say to your friend when walking by people you know on Shabbos afternoon: "I find it fascinating that the Yamomamo people of South America and the Sisala people of Ghana differ vastly, yet both are considered simple hortculturalists."
Ummm... Uhh... Ok fine..
So not that much happened over this shabbos.
But what was entertaining was The main topic of conversation at lunch . At the time, we didn't realize that the article was a fake. Some of our guests seemed to seriously think that forty midgets could in fact take the lion down. What follows is a point-counterpoint analysis. Midgets, please start us off*:
Point: The midgets outnumber the lion 42:1.
Counterpoint: The lion has teeth and claws, the midgets are unarmed.
Point: Midgets are known to be wily, dextrous, and hard-nosed.
Counterpoint: Lions are the kings of the jungle.
Point: The midgets are Cambodian.
Counterpoint: Lions eat midgets for breakfast.
Point: Lions suck.
Moderator: that was a low blow!
(crowd boos)
Counterpoint: Nice ad-hominem, but the fact is that lions lack the ability to suck- their lungs do not have the capacity to inhale.
Disclaimer: This is not an actual scientific fact!!! (see here for more on the animal kingdom.)
Point: These are trained midget fighters!!!! This is what they do for a living!!! Male lions don't even hunt for themselves.
(this may actually be true, i heard it somewhere)
Counterpoint: Midgets are short and puny.
So in conclusion, this one is tough to call. We're actually sitting here and arguing about it right now. But the midgets could probably hold their own. But please, feel free to disagree.
*We would like to apologize in advance if this offends any of our readers. But with all due respect to the little people, this is too good to not do. Sorry for the lack of sensitivity.

Midgets would stand little chance mostly because their fingers are so short and stubby.
As well, Midgets can't run away from lions that fast either...
(Perhaps they can lionback ride?)
In response to midgets having little fingers...I do not believe it would matter as long as they were in shape enough to handle a fight to such a degree.
Just my $.02
P.S. WAZZZUP LA!
i think i heard about this one. my idol worshipping rommate showed me this sotry online months ago. the lion viciously creamed the midgets.
sad story.
kind of hard to laugh.
well, maybe not thhhhaaaat hard.
