| Dutch zoo fits elephant with contact lens |
| 2012-01-31 |
 An elephant in Amsterdam's zoo has made history after being fitted with a jumbo-sized contact lens following an eye injury, a statement said Monday."Win Thida is the first elephant in Europe with a contact lens," the Artis zoo said on its website. The 44-year-old Asian elephant accidently scratched its left cornea while playing and the eye was constantly watering. The procedure lasted about an hour, the statement said. |

| #4 #3: There are a lot of old Trunks in this country that desperately need a fitting of new lenses. Posted by: Procopius2k| Actually, those Trunks need new brains. Theirs has atrophied from lack of use. The TEA Party passed out some elixir, but the majority of the Trunks refused to take it. |

| #2 The National Weather Service has disavowed thermometer readings of -79F in Alaska, because the thermometers are failing. And they're only rated down to -40F, anyway. |
