| 2004-01-23 |
| An adventurous elephant has brought chaos to the morning rush hour in New Zealand’s largest city, Auckland. Burma, an Asian elephant, broke out of her zoo enclosure by dropping a log onto an electric fence early on Friday. Smart tool-using elephant After crossing a moat, the two-and-a-half-ton animal began to roam around an adjacent public park. Looking for a beer Although she posed no real threat to the public, police sealed off roads and access to a motorway while zoo-keepers guided her back to the enclosure. |

| #2 Snoop Doggy Dog's new video, from yesterday... "Elephants Gone Wild". There has been an occasional speculation in the Sci Fi community that elephants are sapiant. They use tools, demonstrate mourning for their dead, and learn. And they drink beer. That qualifies them to be, at the very least, Aussie. |
