Recent readers of my LJ might be under the impression that all of my waking thoughts are connected with Doctor Who, but this is not strictly correct. And not only because some of them are about Torchwood

I suspect Matt would side with George - bros before hos, after all! XD

[redscharlach]

If Matt takes this view, then he is not the friend I thought he was, and I am better off without his input.

*hangs out in Hollywood and flicks peanuts at Matt as he walks down a red carpet*

I, on the other hand, am quite certain Matt and I would remain friends. I grew up with all of my ex's friends and him as well; no one took sides. We simply don't mention each other to our mutuals. Seeing as Matt Damon is far more mature than my ex, I'm sure he would remain friends with both George and me with no qualms.

As to the elephant, never mind where you would keep it, where on earth would you keep its poop? Elephant poop is probably bigger than your office's entire bathroom, never mind toilet, would allow for. :P

You could get one of those chute thingies that builders use. You fasten it to a convenient window, so it hangs down the outside of the building, and anything thrown in empties into a skip placed underneath.

A small skip would be the best idea, so it fills up and is changed fairly frequently. By the time you fill a large skip with elephant shit, some of the contents could have been there quite a while....

Perfect! ^_^

Also, I just thought of the flowers growing in the elephant poop in Joe's Apartment and died of lulz. :D

[redscharlach]

Good idea: perhaps the elephant now needs to live on our top floor, with the builder's chute leading down to the sticking-out bit of roof below. And we can turn that bit of roof into a lovely garden!

Of course, I'm now pondering how we'll get the elephant UP the stairs in the first place...

Presumably the best way to get your squirrels all moving in the same direction is to use a squirrel appropriate version of the carrot-on-a-stick, commonly used for donkeys. A bird feeder full of peanuts might do the trick.

I can't find a date, but I don't think bananas made it from the new world until relatively late- they don't ship as well as many other fruits.

[san_valentine]

According to Wikipedia: 'By the tenth century the banana appears in texts from Palestine and Egypt, from it diffused into north Africa and Muslim Spain. In fact, during the medieval ages, bananas from Granada were considered amongst the best in the Arab world.'

I am now going to spend all day singing "Bananas from Granada are coming down the stairs..."

Would Raphael (the painter, not the Ninja Turtle) have been familiar with bananas?
I would've said "probably not", but then again Albrecht Durer became familiar with rhinoceroses, so who can tell?

If we got a pet elephant for the office, where would we keep it, and would we be able to get it down the stairs if there was a fire drill?
Depends upon the size and temperament of the pet elephant.

what would be the best way to get them all to move in the same direction?
Candied pecans onna fishing line.

Moment of zen during a recent commute: anti-littering poster from the inside of a subway car, detached and littering subway platform, ignored underfoot.

Candied pecans on a fishing line would be a good idea to get ME to move in the direction of the office, actually. Mmm.
