This is an Incredible story !
In 1986, Peter Davies was on holiday in Kenya after graduating from
Northwestern 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
teenaged 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.

Man hurt in Aus portaloo blast
2011-07-25 09:13
Brisbane - A man suffered life-threatening burns on Monday after a portaloo he was using exploded apparently after he lit a cigarette.
The victim, who was taking part in a joint Australia-US military exercise at the time, was rushed to hospital with burns to his head, face, arms, chest and airways after the incident at Rockhampton airport.
"There was some sort of explosion in a portaloo. It's believed the man was lighting a cigarette at the time," a department of community safety spokesperson said.
"He was taken to the Rockhampton hospital in a serious condition."
A spokesperson from the military operation - Talisman Sabre - confirmed the explosion, but could not say if an Australian or American was involved.
"I can confirm that an incident has happened but we’re still gathering information," she told the Courier-Mail newspaper.

My mate asked me the other day what ringtone I have. I said that I've never really looked but would expect it to be a light brown.

A cop was patrolling late at night in a well-known spot. He saw a
couple in a car, with the interior light brightly glowing.
The cop carefully approached the car to get a closer look. Then he saw
a young man behind the wheel, reading a computer magazine. He
immediately noticed a young woman in the rear seat, filing her
fingernails. Puzzled by this surprising situation, the cop walked to
the car and gently rapped on the driver's window. The young man
lowered his window.
"Uh, yes, Officer?"
"What are you doing?" The cop asked.
"Well Officer," the young man replied, "I'm reading a magazine."
Pointing towards the young woman in the back seat the cop asked, "And
her, what is she doing?"
The young man shrugged, "Sir, I believe she's filing her fingernails."
Now, the cop was totally confused. A young couple, alone, in a car, at
night, on lover's lane.... and nothing obscene was happening!
The cop asked, "'What's your age, young man?"
"I'm 22, sir," the young man replied.
The cop asked, "And her ... what's her age?"
The young man looked at his watch and replied, "She'll be 18 in 11
minutes...
