Africa News No. 1: Hard Core Grandad

The emphasis is mine.

Grandfather kills leopard with his hands – Yahoo! News
A 73-year-old Kenyan grandfather reached into the mouth of an attacking leopard and tore out its tongue to kill it, authorities said Wednesday.

Peasant farmer Daniel M’Mburugu was tending to his potato and bean crops in a rural area near Mount Kenya when the leopard charged out of the long grass and leapt on him.

M’Mburugu had a machete in one hand but dropped that to thrust his fist down the leopard’s mouth. He gradually managed to pull out the animal’s tongue, leaving it in its death-throes.

Now, the article goes on to say that apparently God told him not to bother with his knife and just go for the hard-core disinlinguatation, so I’m not sure if that means the guy is even crazier than you think at first, or that God himself is a serious bad ass.
