A Liger! A Liger! ...Life Altering Decisions (Well, Not Really)

Disclaimer: This post might be in some way, marginally, serious but not altogether un-funny (as per my usual posts, of course).

Sometime last weekend I happened to watch a show on an unnamed network (TVO Kids) that highlighted the ever gentile and majestic Liger. Yes, I said Liger! It got me thinking.

Well, no it didn't. I was first amazed by this thing and how incredibly brilliant (read: stupid) we are to create a mix between two of the most ferocious cats (a male lion and a female bengal tiger), thus creating this super cat that's twice the size of its parents. Not only is this thing massive, but it'll likely turn on us. Picture a twelve foot cat on the streets of Toronto. The thing would rip apart have the city, and probably take out a few streetcars. My god! What are we doing people?!?

Look at the size of this thing! And why is Tim Robbins in the picture?



It was then that it got me thinking. For real this time.

But that's the subject for another blog. I'm still shocked by the Liger. A Liger!
