Potter is Dethroned


In a wierd turn of events Boxoffice Powerhouse Harry Potter was dethroned by the Adam Sandler and Kevin James movie I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry.

The funny part is that ‘Chuck and Larry’ is getting terrible reviews. Maybe all of the Potter fans are at home reading their books and not at the theatres. I bet you that the movie will be back on top next week after the diehards are done their last chapter.

Don’t Mess With This Circus Elephant

This elephant has been kicked around long enough…

An angry circus elephant in eastern Thailand grabbed a man who had provoked him and then stomped on him until he was fatally injured, police said Saturday.

Surat Kaenthip, a 30-year-old air conditioner repairman, had hit the six-year-old elephant while he was resting in an open field Friday in Rayong province, 90 miles east of Bangkok, said police Lt. Col. Thanit Saeniwong na Ayuddhaya.

“The elephant then grabbed the man’s body with his trunk and hurled him on to the ground before stomping on his body,” he said.

Rescuers were deterred from helping Surat because the elephant ran toward them in a threatening manner, Thanit said. They eventually succeeded in taking Surat away but he later died in hospital from a cracked skull.

Onlookers then managed to temporally placate the elephant by feeding him bunches of bananas, but he turned angry again, and dented a pickup truck parked nearby before his trainer — who had been away — returned and managed to calm him down, Thanit said.

The sad part is that this poor elephant is probably sick of being couped up and made to do things that he doesn’t want to do!
