conuly: Quote from Veronica Mars - "Sometimes I'm even persnickety-ER" (persnickety)

(It's a short book! It's easy to read it several hundred times in rapid succession!) When Gerald first sneezes, he sniffs and rubs under his trunk, presumably wiping away his snot. But when he sneezes the THIRD time, his tissue goes all the way to the bottom of his trunk. OMG CONTINUITY ERROR!!!

Which all raises an interesting question. Do real elephants sneeze?

The answer is apparently yes. Incidentally, I love looking at pictures of elephant family groups, they resemble ours with older siblings and whatnot. I don't know of many animals that can do that.

Also? Videos of elephants painting. You don't see people teaching dolphins to paint!
