NEW YORK (AP) -- A man who was mauled by a tiger at the Bronx Zoo is facing arrest after telling investigators he wanted "to be one" with the 400-pound beast, police said Saturday.

David Villalobos also claimed that despite his serious injuries, he was able to pet the tiger before zookeepers came to his rescue, said New York Police Department spokesman Paul Browne.

It's the eye of the tiger! It's the thrill of the fight!
Risin' up to the challenge Of our rival!

[lurk]

Serendipitously, the tiger also wanted to be one with the man.

[9YearLurker]

And was about to spill his guts.

Maybe for you. My SS STATEMENT said a little over 2400.
If I were disabled right now.

[Wiser now]

Ewwww.

Lawyer: “Mr. Tiger, did you know Mr. Villalobos?
.
Tiger: “Know him? He was delicious!”

[Darksheare]

Not me.
Guy I know across the river in Matamoras PA.
Nuts stuff actually.

[Mr. Silverback]

NAPL!

[Gaffer]

Dunno. I only can say what that yearly SS uPdate says.
Full retirement is a bit more but not much. Maybe it’s based on
Earnings and payments. I’ve paid the maxImum for as long as I remember.

25% of all SS outlays are SSDI or SSI. their website.
SDSDI Is part of SSA. And SSI ( those who haven’t worked enough to qualify for SS or SSDI) is general fund but administered by SSA. I think this percentage was for years before Obama.

I’ll admit, I didn’t read the reply’s. He definitely almost became lion poop.

"He wanted to be one with the tiger."

He ended up being closer to eight with the tiger.

There was a young lady from Niger

Who went for a ride on a tiger;

They came back from the ride

With the lady inside

And a smile on the face of the tiger.

You have been waiting for years for the right time to tell that joke, haven’t you?

I liked it...:)

[mkjessup]

I first read that joke in an old Reader’s Digest in 1968. ;)

And yes, I remembered it all these years, lol

Parts of him did.

When this adrenaline junky heals, he should get himself to the NJ Six Flags. I understand they have zip lines that go over the lion enclosure. How fun is that? What could possibly go wrong?

[Slings and Arrows]

What could possibly go wrong?

From a Darwinian perspective, nothing at all.
