We brought Huxley in for his first doctor visit yesterday. Everything was fine. But since we were going to a clinic with an urgent care unit, I expected to see a lot of people with the flu in the waiting room. There is always a lot of messing around in the waiting room, with a two stage sign in…

"The net has broken, RUN!"
How about, "We have put a bunch of lions, which are wild animals and top predators, in a circus ring behind a fucking net. DON'T COME IN HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE!"
You gotta wonder who the first person was to look at a lion and think, "Hmm.

Wow. It seems very dangerous. Has ever a lion attack somebody before?
Combed, yes, there is some suspicion that lions have attacked people before. The Romans used to import lions and have them snack on slaves in the Coliseum.
