Circus Elephant Saved By Vodka

Last Saturday, there were some sick Siberian elephants. They were suffering from the Siberian Cold, which is very deadly, and practically kills most things. Well, the two elephants that had it, were on the brink of death, when they were given some vodka, and they were saved. They were both given 10 liters of vodka, that was diluted in some warm water. The veterinarian that treated the elephants, said that the ears were only frostbitten. The vet was talking to reporters, about the effects of vodka on people. Vodka makes the body feel warm, but makes the core body temperature go down. When the elephants drank it, they did not become intoxicated, they just got saved from frostbite and pneumonia. Only give vodka to elephants to save them, nothing else.

Military Plane goes down in South Africa

Yesterday, a military plane, supposedly carrying a team of doctors went down in the Drakensberg Mountains. The doctors were a personal crew for former President Mandela who is 94 years old. Although two sources that are very close to Mandela, say that the passengers of the plane were not actually doctors. When the rescue crews finally found the crash site, there were no survivors, and they said it is too early to tell how the plane actually went down. The rescue teams were still searching for survivors, but they still haven't found anything, and Mandela doesn't wish to talk about what or who was on the plane, so we may never know.
