10/2: Elephant protest
 

http://cellar.org/pictures/elephantprotest.jpg

The IotD has seen elephants that were much worse off than this pair, whom I think are in Thailand. Walking signage is a pretty good job for an elephant. All I can think of, though, is the war elephants in Age of Empires II... historically, elephants were tools of war, now how's about this for turnabout?

"It is in vain, Sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry,
Peace, Peace! -- but there is no peace. The war is actually begun!
..."
Patrick Henry, March, 1775

I can't help but think that it had to be the one who drew the short straw that painted the peace sign around the elephant's ... umm, exhaust port. :)
