More on elephants..

I was, again, being compared to an elephant today..but never mind about that(since it's not as flattering as the previous comparison on eyelashes)..

Hands up..those of you who never heard of the saying 'elephants never forget'? Let ZXL-the-expert-in-useless-info enlighten u..

In a top of intelligence, humans are followed by apes, elephants and dolphins. The elephant brain is denser than the human's, and the temporal lobes, associated to memory, are more developed than in humans. Elephant's lobes also have more foldings, so that they can store more information. That's why elephants have excellent memory. (http://news.softpedia.com/news/Why-Elephants-Have-Such-a-Long-Memory-77563.shtml)

Scientists believe elephants use their good memories to recognise others, and remember who is a friend and who is an enemy. They also use their good memories to find food and water.

So..i reckon, again, being compared to an elephant is a compliment..
