Canned food? Testing the vacuum seal?

Recipes anyone?

Forget the metric system, I think we've just invented the elephant measurement system.

Depending on the species, rabbits are about 4500 esph whereas elephants are about 2500 esph. esph = elephant schlongs per hour

See. Much more understandable than metric.

OK, here's the story in the Telegraph.

"In front of us was a safari vehicle with tourists," said the 27-year-old.

"My sister and I drove in our Golf behind them. We saw a group of elephants and started taking photos when we saw the elephant head our way.

"A game ranger shouted that I must turn the car off, which I did."

Mr Beltrame then thought that the elephant would walk past them.

Instead, it seemingly decided to take a closer look at the occupants of the car.

"We got very scared when he stood by us and put his foot on the hood of the car," Mr Beltrame added.

"We waited about five or six minutes, sitting without moving, waiting, before the elephant continued walking. "It was an unbelievable experience."

Keith Marallich from Far and Wild Safaris said the photo was taken by one of their British clients.

According to Ms Renette van der Merwe, regional manager of Budget rent-a-car, who Beltrame rented the car from, the damage cost about R7000 to repair the car.
