A good laugh.

While on holiday in Kenya and walking through the bush, a man comes across an elephant standing with one leg raised in the air.

The elephant seems distressed so the man approaches very carefully. He gets down on one knee and inspects the bottom of the elephant's foot, only to find a large thorn deeply embedded.

As carefully and as gently as he can, he removes the thorn and the elephant gingerly puts its foot down. The elephant turns to face the man and, with a rather stern look on its face, stares at
him.

For a good ten minutes, the man stands frozen - thinking of nothing else but being trampled. Eventually the elephant turns and walks away.

For years after, the man often remembers and ponders the events of that day...

One day, the man is walking through the zoo with his son. As they approach the elephant enclosure, one of the elephants turns and walks over to where they are standing at the rail.

It stares at him and the man can't help wondering if this is the same elephant.

The man climbs tentatively over the railing and makes his way into the enclosure. He walks right up to the elephant and stares back in wonder.

Suddenly, the elephant wraps its trunk around one of the man's legs and swings him wildly back and forth along the railing, instantly killing him.

Probably not the same elephant.

Pirates "Arrrrrrgh" Breaking Records.

This weekend saw Disney launch their new movie, "Pirates of the Caribbean : Dead Mans Chest" across the globe.

Pirates simply smashed all box office records in the U.S over the weekend, grabbing the biggest grossing weekend EVER. Pirates grabbed a massive $132Million in tickets sales over the weekend, easily beating out previous champ, Spiderman 2 ($114.8M).

Not to many records remained in tact after the weekend. Pirates grabbed the largest single day opening on Friday with $55.5M beating out Star Wars:Episode III ($50M) and smashed Disney's previous high set by the Incredibles ($70.5M).

Australia had a strong debut with an estimated $8.2M, but no record breaking there.
So, did you see it? And what did you think?

I saw it, and I (embarrassingly) was a little confused. I seemed to be the only person who thought so. The plot seemed overly complicated for what it was trying to achieve. However, I still enjoyed it, and part of me just wanted a understand the beauty of the story.

So last night I watched the first one again. Its worth doing. Lots of references to Davy Jones. Also, Jack Sparrow, sorry, CAPTAIN Jack Sparrow, using "the compass".

So again: have you seen it? Did you like it?

I need to go see it again.

p.s Superman Returns is also worth checking out.
