I read on wikipedia once that all the elephants are gay and a lot of them are really depressed. The male ones I mean.

Meet 'Topsy', the circus elephant executed for killing three men.
She was killed by electrocution at Luna Park, Coney Island on January 5th 1903.

I read a book about elephants just now. It retold a scene in which an elephant mother trampled the men to death who, in starving hunger, ate her child, with exception of the one who didn't take a bite out of religious belief - she didn't smell the scent of her offspring on him. That man she apparently took on her back and transported him to a village, in which he got other food.

I say the trainer who tried to feed her a lighted cigarette got what was coming to him.

Thread is made of emo and dead elephants. And I doubt anyone has ever used that line before in human history.

That was in Erwin, TN. I grew up not too far from there. That place is full of backwards-ass rednecks.

Ah yes, Mighty Mary, ever since I read her story in the 18th Edition of Uncle John's Bathroom Reader I've wondered how widespread that incident was. Apparently she only went after Walter "Red" Eldridge because he smacked her in the head with a stick while she was eating. She grabbed him with her trunk, threw him into a wall, and then stomped on his head while he was dazed. She was later "executed" by hanging from the arm of a "derrick car", which was used by trains to load and unload lumber. The only reason it was done in Erwin was because that was the closest place it was possible. People like>>50742are the reason they try to forget about it, while the citizens of Kingsport (the ones that actually demanded she be killed) got away with their reputations unscathed.

What the hell. I had to check wikipedia to make sure this was actually true. Hadn't these people heard of guns?
