I think they should have just left it to Mother Nature. If the cute baby elephant got out, great! God (whichever one of your choice, or none if that’s your preference) is good! If not, fire up the barbecue! Win-win all ’round. One results inspires your belief in hope, and the other fills your belly. With their ill-considered interference they denied those opportunities.

Damn humans, ruining a potentially-good barbecue!

I’m of the opinion that if you go into an animals territory then you get what it gives you. Come into my home uninvited and unwelcomed and i’ll tell you to piss off. Enter into a lions then why shouldnt you become his/her latest meal?

The best puns announced today………
A pun by comedian Darren Walsh has scooped the prize for funniest joke of the Edinburgh Fringe.
The 39-year-old, whose show Punderbolt is on at the Pleasance, took first place in the vote by TV channel Dave.
The winning joke was: “I just deleted all the German names off my phone. It’s Hans free.”
Walsh, from Peterborough, who won the first UK Pun Championship last year, said he was delighted. “What a punderful feeling,” he said.
It was the eighth year that the joke award has been made. Previous winners include Tim Vine, Stewart Francis, Zoe Lyons and Nick Helm.
This year saw the youngest comedian make the award shortlist, as 12-year-old ‘Grace The Child’ claimed 10th place.
The top 10 funniest jokes of the Fringe
“I just deleted all the German names off my phone. It’s Hans free” – Darren Walsh
“Kim Kardashian is saddled with a huge arse … but enough about Kanye West” – Stewart Francis
“Surely every car is a people carrier?” – Adam Hess
“What’s the difference between a ‘hippo’ and a ‘Zippo’? One is really heavy, the other is a little lighter” – Masai Graham
“If I could take just one thing to a desert island I probably wouldn’t go” – Dave Green
“Jesus fed 5,000 people with two fishes and a loaf of bread. That’s not a miracle. That’s tapas” – Mark Nelson
“Red sky at night. Shepherd’s delight. Blue sky at night. Day” – Tom Parry
“The first time I met my wife, I knew she was a keeper. She was wearing massive gloves” – Alun Cochrane
“Clowns divorce. Custardy battle” – Simon Munnery
“They’re always telling me to live my dreams. But I don’t want to be naked in an exam I haven’t revised for…” – Grace The Child
The funniest joke was chosen from a shortlist compiled by a panel of judges, who saw an average of 60 shows each at this year’s Edinburgh Fringe.
The shortlisted gags were then put to 2,000 people, with no reference to the comedians who told them, who then voted for the jokes they found the funniest.
The judges also released a list of jokes which just missed out on the shortlist.
“I never lie on my CV…because it creases it.” – Jenny Collier
“If you don’t know what introspection is you need to take a long, hard look at yourself” – Ian Smith
“I usually meet my girlfriend at 12:59 because I like that one-to-one time” – Tom Ward
“Whenever I get to Edinburgh, I’m reminded of the definition of a gentleman. It’s someone who knows how to play the bagpipes, but doesn’t” – Gyles Brandreth
“Let me tell you a little about myself. It’s a reflexive pronoun that means ‘me'” – Ally Houston
“Earlier this year I saw “The Theory of Everything” – loved it. Should’ve been called “Look Who’s Hawking”, that’s my only criticism” – James Ancaster

A filipino helper here in Hong Kong was falling down while she’s hanging the clothes out of the window from 30th floor
Awful news, and happens far too often!

Glad you have a balcony, HKL. If you have to find new employers, look for ones with a balcony.

Being a domestic helper is a very hard work and too risky sometimes, we have a lots of sacrifices we need to sacrifice our homesick for our family we need to do our best for the future of our kids and to help our family, but some of the agency and the employer they treated them like an animal’s no food, overworked, no holidays, like a prisoners,

How can humans be so cruel to other humans? It is sickening.

That video you mentioned was just scary as well. Far too many workers in all sort of industries across the world work in awful situations. While we have (mostly) managed to get rid of slavery there is still a long way to go to improve the working situation for most of humanity.
