Lions don't like ice cream

2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

A zoo attendant was arrested for breaking into his zoo. But what makes this an Honorable Mention is as follows: There are certain rules about working as a zoo attendant. Getting drunk, breaking in to your own zoo, stealing an ice cream stand and forcing lions to eat "Lion" brand ice cream breaks all of those. Unfortanetly for us, the police found him before he could complete his Darwin style attempt at mauling himself. But I'm willing to take that he will try again...once he gets out of prision.

I could find the story on the 'net, but there is proof of the story in the August 23 2002 edition of a UK newspaper called the "Daily Mail".

Quite amusing! But lacks the "something extra" for me

Neutral: Honorable Mention
Agree, needs a reference.

I searched the 'net for it and found nothing. No proof => Urban Legend. It is mildly amusing, so I'll say let the readers decide.

I'll give this one a passing mark if for no other reason that it was the first one tonight that made me smile (and I must admit that my first thought was that it was a good thing that he wasn't trying to get them to drink Simba beer ... ). Yes, let our faithful readers decide - thumbs up or thumbs down?

Charles said:
Neutral: Honorable Mention
I'm having a hard time believing this one... and I find the Daily Mail perhaps a less than stellar source. They're a tab, no? If you can find a second source, I'd be interested... but meanwhile, let the readers decide, perhaps?
