Totally safe for work, it's just spooky, that's all.

Watch an elephant, trained to paint, paint a picture of an elephant holding a flower. This is a project raising funds to do the work needed to keep the elephant numbers from dwindling too far.

This one moved me in a good way. There is a spark to the elephant's movements that's every bit as bright as our own. If you have ever tried to learn to draw something, you can appreciate what is going on here.

Maybe we are not alone here after all.

Finally, shorts from the Reverend Moon's eerie life. Did you know he declared himself messiah, in our Senate offices?

Yes, there was a religious coronation on the government dime, time and property. Reverend Moon is a scary loon.

Elephants paint here in town too. Rama even put a show in a renowned local art gallery. In fact, an acquaintance of mine, Jeb, is a local fellow who teaches the fine arts to the pachyderms at the Oregon Zoo. He said that it has many of the same emotional benefits to the big animals as it does to people.

Nature is full of amazing creatures, so the wonders do not end when you leave the grounds of the zoo. However, sometimes it helps if you suspend disbelief. The BBC has just released footage of flying penguins. See it for yourself! The Museum of Hoaxes is open 24/7 all year round, but today is special.
