  In 1986, Peter Davies was on holiday in Kenya after graduating from Louisiana State University .

  
  

  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, inspected the elephants 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 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 moments. 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 teenage 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 times then trumpeted loudly, all the while staring at the man.

  
  

  Remembering the encounter in 1986, Peter could not 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 him against the railing, killing him instantly.

  
  

  Probably wasn't the same f*****g elephant.

  
  

  This is for everyone who sends me those heart-warming bullshit stories.

  Its going down.

  When a cat runs down stairs it raises its tail to keep balance.

  As it runs upstair its tail stays low as balance is not needed.

  Just expeimented with my cat. That is what she does.

  She is a fit nine year old. She knows what she is doing.

  Try it if you own a cat.

  Air Canada Crash, oops, I mean "hard landing"

  by Simon in

  just watched the news about the air canada crash in halifax that they want to claim was just a "hard landing".. i can only imagine the distinction matters for insurance purposes otherwise they are just being idiots.

  pretty poor behavior for the airline whatever the motivation imo.. now i'm no plane expert but i think when then plane is smashed up, the engines have come off and the nose is in pieces that should be obviously classed as a crash.

  if you can't take off again then you have been in a crash, not a hard landing.. .

  IKEA Bekant motorised standing desk

  by Simon in

  if you're anything like me and have a desk job you will sit for long periods of the day and it's very unhealthy according to lots of studies.. one thing you can do to change that is to stand - you burn more calories as well as reducing health risks.

  yes, it hurts (like hell) at first and you really need a chef's mat to stand on and ideally some hard foam 'things' you can put one foot on to allow you to change your position.

  you can also get 'standing stools' like the mogo to give a bit of a half-way house:.

  Our dog doesn't shed but we have two white cats that are able to disperse hair throughout the house.

  Make sure the table will take the weight of one of those cats of yours. LOL.

  I remember CO Ken Richmond and his wife in London in North Kensington area. Big guy, broad shoulders.

  He used to drive a Heinkel Micro Car. Tight squeeze for him and his wife.

  Another reason.

  They could be in the basement because JW--Org has sold off all the Kingdom Halls.

  Complete and Finished.

  
  

  No dictionary has ever been able to satisfactorily define the difference between "complete" and "finished."  However, during a recent linguistic conference, held in London , England , and attended by some of the best linguists in the world. Samsundar Balgobin, a Guyanese linguist, was the presenter when he was asked to make that very distinction.  The question put to him by a colleague in the erudite audience was this: “Some say there is no difference between ‘complete’ and ‘finished.’  Please explain the difference in a way that is easy to understand.”

  
  

  Mr. Balgobin’s response:

   “When you marry the right woman, you are ‘complete.’  If you marry the wrong woman, you are ‘finished.’  And, if the right one catches you with the wrong one, you are ‘completely finished.”
