Oh yeah, cause it's only REEELLY dangerous if there is a lion in the middle of the crash!!

That pic cracks me up!  The lion looks like he's rather enjoying himself.

Cmon that lion is  was a wild animal.  Riding around the death bowl is the only excitement he ever gets.  Trust me if you went from chasing antelope while fending of hyenas and having sex whenever you wanted into a cage with 3 meals a day given to you, you would strap on a helmet and go for a ride too.

Fixed it (animal behaviorally) for ya.

looking forward to reading this when I get home. My workplace finds cracked.com to be "tasteless" and so it is inaccessible. Bah.
