This is a heart warming story. You won't believe it at first, but you will at the end.
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 and inspected the elephant's 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 hunting 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 couldn't 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 elephant. |

I'm bored with waiting now, and thus am no longer interested.
You don't have to share it with me anymore ^_^ |

It's a bit of both REALLY.
You see, the TV that broke down was in Piccadilly gardens (not a particularly huge area anyway). When said TV broke down, the organizers solution was, RATHER THAN GET IT FIXED, they announced "there's another TV about 5 minutes walk off that way". When really it's easily an hour's trek across town.
So poor organization on the part of the council, but STILL, it would have been nice if some of the Rangers fans acted like civilized people here and there, alright the council fudgeed over your TV, but don't then take it upon yourself to go RIOTING.
I hear Celtic fans are way more dignified

I rather enjoyed it actually. Nothing wrong with a bit of action comic film adaptation.
It's what we've come to expect from the marvel movies, lots of special effects, good for a casual watch. But it's nothing deep and meaningful you can walk away with ^_^. |
