#2 My cat has brought two snakes into the house within the past five days! I know she could corral the elephants but refuse to loan her out.

#3 The Thai elephants, using very sophisticated media manipulation techniques via the Internet, have deftly recruited and spread the Elephant Global Jihad (Tuskism) to Banglawangla. Ganesha Law will be instituted and the Mahoutists will be crushed, literally, or beaten into submission with an ankus. Soon, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines will also fall. The rest of Asia, Africa, Europe, Louisiana and Florida - all will fall in their time. Only those who offer generous Jaggery Tribute will be spared. All others are doomed. Except Alaska, Siberia, and Scandinavia... they have declared a hudna there, until they figure out how to make snowshoes and Mammoth attire.

#4 Capture some of the elephants, ship them to Las Vegas, and turn them loose at the YearlyKos konvention. "Aieeee! Republicans! Flee for your wretched lives!"

#7 Seem like the Elephats are drawing the line. I read a story a couple of years ago about them rampaging a village in India and eating their grain stores. What the villagers were most upset about is the barrels of some sort of home made beer that the elephants drank. Drunken, pissed off, rampaging elephants.
Worse than a european football match!

"5000 homeless and only 250 homes are destroyed?

Wrong question. That's only 20 people per thatched hut/long house (home), not out of the ordinary at all.

#10 There is a herd in NE India that regularly raids an Indian Air Force base, knocking down the perimeter fence. They only do so on the days that the canteen receives supplies by truck.
