All the more reason to keep it.
I think it's a reminder of what an asshole Samson was, if nothing else. That poor lion hadn't done anything wrong.

It (the Samson story and riddle) could also be further proof that the ancient world was visited by extraterrestrials. The Bible among other notable ancient texts document describe many encounters with what can only be interpreted as aliens from another world. Probably in the Pleiades.

You’re right, all that hair. Bet he even sported gawdy Harley-Davidson jewellery and tasteless tattoos. Must have been a textbook narcissist. They say he killed 30 men for their clothes. Imagine that! Probably had a mouth on him like a Joe Pesci gangster character.
