Well… I’ve recently returned from a sucessful honeymoon, during which my husband and I made it to the Field Museum in Chicago. Our one purpose: to see if the legend of the Tsavo Maneaters’ ability to strike fear into even the most stout-hearted, though long dead, was indeed true. We walked boldly up to the glass diorama, and I exclaimed “Staring contest! You and me- NOW!”, quoting my favorite Will Ferrel SNL skit. I held the gaze of the taller of the lions until bordem led me to admire the taxidermy and spout off how weird it was that both of these male lions never grew manes.
The bottom line: I ain’t scared. I’m a little disappointed, but sorry, cats- you just don’t got it anymore.
