Though i'm against caging animals it's still very sweet the fact that there is a day where treats are distributed to Elephants and so on.

And Slick, please don't grumble that in your region nothing ever happens, where just a drive away you can catch up.......I live in a COUNTRY which is also an ISLAND!!!!!

I did visit though that particular Zoo in Washington DC, when I was in the US in 2001, I remember the chimp who was free to go from one pole to another without being confined behind bars. That I liked That was if I remember well Sept. 13 or 14th, since we where grounded and could not fly to Los Angeles as we where supposed to on Sept. the 11th as you all know why

You US Citizens are funny though. I still remember the look a waitress gave me when I ordered a coffee. Ok let me explain this: So I went to this cafe in NY and ordered a coffee, the waitress asked me: 'Black?' And I said "No white please' Her eyes looked like 'Then if illuminated from beyond she said in a questioning tone 'Oh! Coffee and cream???!!! If a coffee without milk its called black coffee, therefore a coffee with milk can also be called white, no?

What do you say?
