I reckon if I was an elephant I'd like to be called Queenie.

I got an email from a friend this morning, telling me that it was a very sad day as the world's only water skiing elephant had died.

He was of the opinion that the world needed more water skiing elephants.

It's looks like good fun (water skiing - if you're an elephant), but I'm wondering whether Queenie ever got over it and thought, 'Listen guys, I'm not a performing-freaking-seal'.
