"Wild elephant herds have been terrorizing India's remote northeast, killing people, flattening houses and even guzzling local rice beer supplies, prompting villagers to retaliate against the pachyderms with firecrackers and bonfires... The wild elephants have stampeded across the region, stomping down houses and feasting on standing crops, Pradyut Bordoloi, Assam state's forest minister, said Saturday. Rice beer is an attraction. Workers in tea plantations in Assam make rice beer at home and store it in drums. Wild elephants have killed at least 22 people so far this year in the state, wildlife authorities say... On Oct. 26, wild elephants guzzled rice beer kept in drums in Marongi, a village about 175 miles east of Assam's main city of Gauhati, and then went on a rampage, trampling three people to death and wounding two others."

I've seen similar actions at the bar up the street from my house.

You should see them when they get off their 2 barstools and stampede.

I have not been in there for years because of this!

This doesn't happen in India's northwest, as everyone has a gun and is waiting for the Islamo-Paki invasion of Kashmir... :fight6:

There's a really good Lady Di and Marion joke that could go with this, but I can't really think of any right now, oh well.
