who said it was the same fridge, or the same elephant? What if someone had let the elephant out to visit the lion king's conference?
This tests your ability to think outside the box, alternative scenarios and look at the bigger picture. aaaah!
Exactly - u never know see.
Anyhow - i think it's all the lion king's fault for holding a conference in the first place. What an idiot. I mean, does he not know how many animals there are in the world? You can't get them all together! Or was it a local event? In which case - did all the animals get on? Or were some not invited for security reasons? I hope they had good doormen
Did you know that the pads on the underside of elephants feet are a shade of yellow?
It's true - and did you know why?
It's so they are camouflaged whilst floating upside down in bowls of custard ....... absolutely true, all of it!

Saw a fascinating documentary on self-tipping elephants on Thursday!
As you know, Health & Safety banned the practice of elephant tipping in 1987 after osteopaths recorded the highest incident of related back injuries since records began (which, incidentally was 1986). Last year, and this has been recorded by film crews (search "self elephant tip" on Youtube), the discovery of the self-tipping elephant has caused speculation amongst scientists as to the speed of evolution. It seems that within 10 years, certain herds of elephants (in Cameroon) have developed cavities in their feet which, from an as yet unknown chemical process, fill with methane and result in the beast becoming inverted.
An attempt was made to capture an STE (self-tipping elephant) calf last year which ended in tragedy when a 13,000 pound bull elephant sneaked up on the hunters and self-tipped on to them, killing 2 and permanently disabling a third. No subsequent attempts have been made as since then a Government ThinkTank was set up on STE and decided to ban all research on the subject.
