Hi dear all. I have enjoyed all your suggestions. Then finally I have chosen the examples sent by Douglas. So congratulation Douglas. Hope you a good time choosing one new picture for the new Caption.
"Hey! Don �t drink all the water, I �m trying to take a bath!"
or
"I�m not touching that slimey thing, I�d rather drown."
or
"I wouldn�t drink that if I were you Babar. Do you want to guess why my tail is slightly raised?"

Congrats, Douglas, but can anyone answer me this: how many muscles are there in an elephant �s trunk? Do not google! |

Because you asked, Lynne, I �m going to guess one. That seems to be impossible, though. Bruce |

Since we �re guessing, I �ll say 100. I figured if Lynne asks, then it should be sth no one expects! |

I �ll go to the other extreme and say "none".
I somehow can �t remember seeing any bones attached to mammoth skeleton �s I �ve seen...I just remember the tusks!

I �d say
there �s a huge amount of muscles but none or very few bones. No, that�s a
stupid guess. It�s got to be either none or quite a few; otherwise it wouldn�t
be so flexible.

Thanks falafel!
As for the elephant thing--I know I �ve read this somewhere before, but am at a total loss--I �m going to say one (as bruoooce said), just because I couldn �t justify none.
Okay, I looked it up--I�m embarassed.  |

40,000 or thereabouts it is! Give that lady (Soophia) a coconut! |

I didn �t answer because I own a pet elephant and it would not have been fair on my part. Ed |
