Bewdy, and not even off topic.

My daughter just sent me this:



In 1986, Peter Davies was on holiday in Kenya�after graduating from�NorthwesternUniversity.


On a hike through the bush, he came across a �young bull elephant standing with one leg raised in the air. The elephant �seemed distressed, so Peter approached it very carefully.


He got down on one knee and inspected the �elephant's foot and found a large piece of wood deeply embedded in it. As �carefully and as gently as he could, Peter worked the wood out with his �hunting knife, after which the elephant gingerly put down its foot. The �elephant turned to face the man, and with a rather curious look on its face, �stared at him for several tense mom ents. Peter stood frozen, thinking of �nothing else but being trampled. Eventually the elephant trumpeted loudly, �turned, and walked away. Peter never forgot that elephant or the events of �that day.


Twenty years later, Peter was walking through �the Chicago Zoo with his teenaged son. As they approached the elephant �enclosure, one of the creatures turned and walked over to near where Peter and �his son Cameron were standing. The large bull elephant stared at Peter, �lifted its front foot off the ground, then put it down. The elephant did that �several t imes then trumpeted loudly, all the while staring at the �man.


Remembering the encounter in 1986, Peter �couldn't help wondering if this was the same elephant. Peter summoned up his �courage, climbed over the railing and made his way into the enclosure. He �walked right up to the elephant and stared back in wonder. The elephant �trumpeted again, wrapped its trunk around one of Peter legs and slammed his �stupid butt against the railing, killing him instantly.




Probably wasn't the same elephant.



This is the sort of tale we should have more of, don't you think.

Religious people would probably think it the work of the devil, I think it to be a miracle.

Yes, it's a strange place, Kenya&#65533...

Has anyone else been to http://shirt.woot.com/, they have a new t-shirt everyday, usually accompanied by some imaginative storytelling.

This thread is going to take some serious effort to take off-topic - what isn't "Misc"?

My secret plan hath been foiled!

Everything is not 'misc'.

For you to have a 'misc' you need to categorise nearly every thing else, or else it's like a teenagers bedroom floor. Filed according to date of acquisition.

I have a floordrobe.

Once any post refers to another post, the is a link and miscellany becomes shakey. Or not.

Shakey Miscellany.... Sounds like a band name....

That also works....

I looked at the alufoil website - no mention of excessive aluminium intake being implicated in Alzheimer's and other biological irregularities, is there?

Is this anything to do with the lack of jelly molds in modern society?

I see plenty of culture.

Good grief. You see plenty of cultures? I meant jelly not lab samples!

And speaking of samples... When you need to jump ship to another company for one that's not being drowned like a rat...
