wtf, why does everyone think that Elephant Day is Oct 7th. Is it a timezone thing? Is there an ISO board that can be petitioned regarding this?

Don't say anything about the ear, OK. It was a long time ago - a poaching accident - and he's quite vain, everybody just pretends they don't see it. You don't want to get on his bad side, elephants don't forget these things.

And so it begins.
Im my defence, I read the story about the bees and elephants and decided to share with MeFi before seeing this thread. I nearly allowed the anniversary to dissuade me, but bees and elephants are amongst my favourite things.
