BUT THEY ARE THE BIGGEST, THE MOST POWERFUL ANIMALS IN THE FUCKING JUNGLE!
How could a big, powerful animal like the elephant be afraid of a tiny, defenseless and harmless mouse? How can the GOP elephant be afraid of tiny minorities, defenseless and harmless liberal-progressives?
Of course it is a myth that elephants are scared of mice, but for the sake of our post let us assume they are. Did you know elephants are more afraid of bees than of mice? Could it be because the bee is the official insect of Utah?
On Tuesday October 9th 2007, The Metro, a London free paper, featured a report that Oxford University zoologists had discovered that an elephant is much more likely to panic and stampede when frightened by a bumble bee, rather than if the elephant is frightened by the archetypal terrorizer of elephants, the mouse.
The study, conducted in the Samburu National Reserve, Northern Kenya, may help to save lives where elephants live (and work) alongside humans. Possible applications of the research could be a perimeter alarm that sounds a bee-buzzing noise when elephants approach - this would be an elephant deterrent.
So, were elephants that go on a rampage, seemingly for no reason, frightened by a bee? The reasons should be obvious, but for someone like Ahkmadinejad the computer mouse is more frightening than a whole beehive because it represents a way for his people to obtain information and Iran does not want the general public to be well informed. Likewise, the Republicans are at a loss when it comes to the computer mouse because people learn very fast that what they have been saying is simply not true...and they learn it fast.
