Title: Wow. Post by: Shockeye on June 28, 2005, 03:17:49 PM Quote from: Reuters Kenyan grandfather, 73, kills leopard with hands (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8315414) NAIROBI - A 73-year-old Kenyan grandfather reached into the mouth of an attacking leopard and tore out its tongue to kill it, authorities said Wednesday. Peasant farmer Daniel M'Mburugu was tending to his potato and bean crops in a rural area near Mount Kenya when the leopard charged out of the long grass and leapt on him. M'Mburugu had a machete in one hand but dropped that to thrust his fist down the leopard's mouth. He gradually managed to pull out the animal's tongue, leaving it in its death-throes. "It let out a blood-curdling snarl that made the birds stop chirping," he told the daily Standard newspaper of how the leopard came at him and knocked him over. The leopard sank its teeth into the farmer's wrist and mauled him with its claws. "A voice, which must have come from God, whispered to me to drop the panga (machete) and thrust my hand in its wide-open mouth. I obeyed," M'Mburugu said. As the leopard was dying, a neighbor heard the screams and arrived to finish it off with a machete. M'Mburugu was toasted as a hero in his village Kihato after the incident earlier this month. He was also given free hospital treatment by astonished local authorities. "This guy is very lucky to be alive," Kenya Wildlife Service official Connie Maina told Reuters, confirming details of the incident. Title: Re: Wow.

Fuck no. That's crazy. Title: Re: Wow. Post by: Riggswolfe on June 28, 2005, 08:11:16 PM I bet his grandchildren believe him when he tells them to shut up or he'll rip their tongue out.
Title: Re: Wow. Post by: Ironwood on June 29, 2005, 03:59:44 AM I want to be that active at that age.
Hell, I'd settle for being alive at that age. Title: Re: Wow. Post by: kaid on June 29, 2005, 07:41:09 AM Its hard enough to live to that age but to live to that age and be tough enough to fight off a leopard no matter how you are armed is impressive. To rip its fucking tounge out to kill it damn thats just hard core and the scars and the story probably mean free beer for the rest of his life.

"Which one is it?" "It's the one that says 'Bad Motherfucker' on it." Title: Re: Wow. Post by: Furiously on June 29, 2005, 09:07:58 AM "Mbutu, would you give me my wallet? I dropped it in the struggle." "Which one is it?" "It's the one that says 'Bad Motherfucker' on it." I'd think he would be more of a "You see this watch?" type of guy. Title: Re: Wow.

Title: Re: Wow. Post by: Yegolev on June 30, 2005, 02:25:38 PM No, no... the voice specifically said to drop the machete. He would not have gotten that sweet death animation, nor as many red orbs.
