Would you rather...

...be eaten by a shark or be eaten by a lion?

I asked Anna about this earlier and we both agreed on being eaten by a lion. She thought it would be more freaky to be attacked from under the water, and I thought that being eaten by a lion would just be a classy way to go. Also, I would feel that at least my death was resulting in the furtherance of the life of a lion, which is an objectively superior animal to a shark.

Re: Random though on your comment that the lion is objectively superior: Aquatic animals are underrepresented in Williams's "Place of the Lion." Unless (1) one of them is a land shark and (2) land sharks are classified as aquatic.

I would rather be eaten by a lion. It would be over quicker and it would mean that first I got to fight a lion, which is just cool all by itself.

Lion. I agree, especially with Anna's sentiments about an under-water attack.

Although, gatersisters raised an interesting question: Would being eaten by a lion bring the quicker death?
