  The Memory of an Elephant

   

   

  In 1986, Mkele Mbembe was on holiday in Kenya after graduating from

  college. 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 Mbembe approached it very carefully.

  He got down on one knee and inspected the elephant's foot, and found a

  large thorn deeply embedded in it.

   

  As carefully and as gently as he could, Mbembe worked the thorn out with

  his hunting knife, after which the elephant gingerly put down its foot.

  The elephant turned to face the man and with a rather stern look on its

  face, stared at him. For several tense moments Mbembe stood frozen,

  thinking of nothing else but being trampled. Eventually the elephant

  trumpeted loudly, turned and walked away.

   

  Mbembe never forgot that elephant or the events of that day. Twenty

  years later he was walking through a zoo with his teenaged son.

   

  As they approached the elephant enclosure, one of the creatures turned

  and walked over to near where Mbembe and his son Tapu were standing.

   

  The large bull elephant stared at Mbembe and 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, Mbembe couldn't help wondering if

  this was the same elephant. Mbembe 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.

   

  Suddenly the elephant trumpeted again, wrapped its trunk around one of

  the man's legs and swung him wildly back and forth along the railing,

  killing him.

   

  Probably wasn't the same elephant.

  The Onion Make Me Cry (Laughing)

  I love the onion. Love it. It's my weekly visit of joy.

  My favourite is American Voices

   

  How they use the same six people but give them different occupations. Very clever stuff.

  Here is a good general one about bringing yourself to work day. Ahhh. The Onion.

  So I walk out to my backyard this morning...

  If the devil was all about temptation to men, then it would look a like like Liz there.

  For some wisdom of the crowds, see what wikipedia says about the Devil.

  Egg and Spoonerisms

  I went to the Juvenille Diabetes Research Foundation walk the other day and was asked to go in a relay. It ended up being the smallest relay for kids. I was up against 6 year olds to balance a golf ball on a tea spoon and run for ten metres. Oh the humilation..........
