1/21/2005: Elephant uses human-like toilet
![]() I'd found it already when madmonkey and elspode sent along this item, which is so clearly IotD material that it just isn't... well hell, yes it IS funny. Hilarious even. ![]() And true. Thai mahouts are training some elephants to use toilets to cut down on the waste problem, which would be enormous when you think about it. full story |

Well one had to wonder about the source. I mean the Sun isn't the most reputable rag out there, but I suppose anything could happen. If the news item had appeared here it probably would have been in the check out line in the Weekly World News with a headline like "Aliens Teach Elephants To Use Flush Toilets".

Well, from the looks of the soil they could use a little additional organic matter!

Wait wait wait. The elephant using the toilet is real (or at least if it's a hoax, nobody has debunked it yet). The snopes article referenced above was referring to the myth of someone getting, uh, for lack of a better term, pooped on to death by an elephant.

Right. My Snopes reference was in response to RQuinn, not the original post.

I suspect it's like an outhouse, that the white part is just sitting on top of a much deeper hole. When it gets mostly full, they can just cover the top with dirt and move the throne to another hole.

It looks like a peice of 4-6" PVC or CPVC. I've seen it used on construction sites. The pipe may be a lot bigger than I think, as the animal & the head are both huge. You can see the pipe very well on Bruce's link. Anyway, IMHO the image would be more convincing without the "pipe", or whatever. ![]() Wonder if "it's a floater?" Hope not.............. Maybe the cement looking opening the "pipe" goes into is one of the gates of hell. "Some folks call it hell- I call it hades". ![]()
