| ... everybody has to shit in the morning. It appears to be true, even for elephants.... and there're serious consequences if they don't! 1998 DARWIN AWARD WINNER PADERBORN, GERMANY - Zoo keeper Friedrich Riesfeldt fed his constipated elephant 22 doses of animal laxative and more than a bushel of berries, figs and prunes. The plugged-up pachyderm finally let fly - and suffocated the keeper under 200 pounds of poop. Investigators say Friedrich, 46, was attempting to give the ailing elephant an enema when the relieved beast unloaded on him like a dump truck full of mud. "The sheer force of the elephant's unexpected defecation knocked Mr. Riesfeldt to the ground, where he struck his head on a rock and lay unconscious as the elephant continued to evacuate his bowels on top of him," said flabbergasted police detective Erik Dern. "With no one there to help him, he lay under all that dung for at least an hour before a watchman came along, and during that time he suffocated. It seems to he just one of those freak accidents. The two most abundant things in the universe are hydrogen and stupidity. ************************************************************************ For those not familiar with the Darwin Award - It's an annual honor given to the person who provided the universal human gene pool the biggest service by getting killed in the most extraordinary way. |
