'Come Bite Me!' Right... Wed Nov 3, 8:16 AM ET Oddly Enough - Reuters TAIPEI (Reuters) - 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. Reuters Photo AP Photo Slideshow: Man Throws Himself to the Lions "Jesus will save you!" the 46-year-old man shouted 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.

250 Cats Found in Feces-Infested Home Fri Nov 5,10:09 PM ET Strange News - AP ST. CROIX FALLS, Wis. - The stench was enough to guide emergency workers to a house where a utility worker had responded to a report of a power outage and found a house full of cats. Police Chief Paul Lindholm described the smell as unbearable and said the cat feces in the building was several inches deep on the floor. Firefighters Thursday night removed 250 cats from the house, half already dead and the rest so ill they had to be killed. Lindholm said a Polk County circuit judge signed an order to euthanize the cats because they were diseased. An 86-year-old woman lived in the home with her daughter and son-in-law, but they had not been located. Investigators said they may have been staying with relatives in the area.
