I am in no way trying to offend anyone. There is no mention of anyone's name, state, or Star Wars Charachter what's so ever......Now to the story.

I was watching Discovery Channel and they were showing lions and how they live. Lions live in packs with 1 or 2 males, as many females as the males can find, and their offspring. The pack is called a pride.

When young males grow into early adulthood they go out on their and and look for a pride to take over. When they find a pride with and aging or sick lion (Viagra isn't available where lions live) they move in and take over the pride. They do give the departing king a going away present by eating any of their offspring therefore saving the need for child support payments.

Once the young male has displayed his dominance the females go into heat within a week. His sole job is to "service" the females, the rest of the day he sleeps or wrestles with his offspring.

The females go out and hunt for him and raise the young'ins. Once the females make a kill they call their man to come eat and lovingly wait till he is full before they start to eat themselves.

So to summarize, Lions have as many wives as they want, are fed by their wives, don't have to put up with kids from earlier marriages, and don't have to pat child support when things don't work out.

So how is it man feels it is the most intelligent creature on the planet?

Because I don't see any lions posting humorous and witty posts such as these.

There's an old Chinese folk tale about cats. At one time cats ruled the world, but they wearied of all the responsibility. They looked around for another species to take over. They thought, "Who would be smart enough to run the world, yet at the same time be stupid enough to feed us without making us do any work?"

Guess who they came up with?

Hello.

Yes, lions are truly remarkable creatures.

For those of you who haven't rented 'Poolhall Junkies', it's worth a look. It is literally the Rounders of pool. He has a girlfriend who wants him to get out, he plays for large amounts of money against some of the best, he plays the big last game to help out his brother (who would be Worm, in Rounders)... etc.

There is also some terrible acting and some large holes in the plot.

However, the reason I mention this movie is because right before the hero plays the BIG GAME at the end, Christopher Walken (his backer) gives him a pep talk. It's about lions. And it is right up there with his 'watch' speech in Pulp Fiction and the scene he had with Martin Sheen in True Romance.
