Crazy Elephants

African ElephantSo, here's some chemistry humor for you. I find it extremly humorous anyway. In my chemistry book, it always has like charts or pictures in the margins of the pages to describe things or concepts. Well, there is a random picture of an elephant with this comment:

"An elephant, decidedly unimpressed by the fact that it uses the same molecule as a mating pheremone as do several species of moths."

I mean, are you kidding me? How do you know an elephant is "decidedly unimpressed"? Even if you could ask an elephant how it feels, do you really think it would describe itself that way? It's just funny to me because it's just so completely random and out of place...

no one ever gave a chemist an award for his humor. Except maybe Dr. Hugdahl. Maybe he should write this stuff.
