#2 I assume the reason this is not under Darwin Award is because the lion didn't take his hand off?

#5 Baldwin joked in a tweet: "Should of know he wouldn't be impressed with me stroking his lioness before introducing myself to him first".

He'll never buy another pint. Now if he could just memorize some "Lion and Albert:

There were one great big Lion called Wallace;
His nose were all covered with scars-
He lay in a somnolent posture,
With the side of his face on the bars.

Now Albert had heard about Lions,
How they was ferocious and wild-
To see Wallace lying so peaceful,
Well, it didn’t seem right to the child.

So straightway the brave little feller,
Not showing a morsel of fear,
Took his stick with it’s’orse’s ‘ead ‘andle
...And pushed it in Wallace’s ear.

You could see that the Liion didn’t like it,
For giving a kind of a roll,
He pulled Albert inside the cage with ‘im,
And swallowed the little lad ‘ole.
