Something in my head is saying
8. Elephants
I don't know why.


Some say pigs are actually very intelligent animals.
Yet I have this whole freezer full of sausages.

I couldn't resist looking it up to see if I was right. Now I know why I was thinking Elephants - right general, wrong animal.

Good one LadyK! smile

Fil lol

Jimbo, you were on the right track. smile

Haroula, that's it! Poisonous snakes were put in earthenware jars and catapulted onto the decks of the Roman ships. Catapulting elephants might have been equally effective but tougher to pull off. eek wave

Sometimes lost is where you need to be. Just because you don't know your direction doesn't mean you don't have one.
