I was in Bangkok, Thailand, a few weeks ago, went elephant riding on one of my off days. The ride is pretty slow and bumpy...definitely not like riding a horse.

Nothing deep enough for swimming. That damn thing was over 8 feet tall where I am sitting....

One elephant power = ~ 50-75 HP. The Lightning could easily outrun this thing, but tie them together and do a tractor pull and the elephant would easily win. Torque could easily be a couple thousand ft-lbs! :tu:

This job is kind of the best of both worlds. I get to travel the world (I've got a trip to Brazil coming up, and another going to Ottawa, back to London and then China), and I get no surprise trips. The trips are scheduled for the beginning of a quarter and that is it. I don't have people calling me and giving me 3 day's notice that I need to be somewhere. That is why I took this job. Only problem is when I have the worldwide trips I am gone for a full three weeks.

I did, however, achieve "Gold" status on American Airlines all ready!! knana
