It's in Discover Magazine's "100 Top Science Stories of 2004".

Quote:

A white elephant is usually something novel that nobody knows what to do with. But when a realy white elephant was discovered roaming Sri Lanka's Ruhunu National Park in July, researchers knew exactly what to do: Trumpet the news and monitor the pachyderm, an albino form rarely seen in natural environs.

The elephant, which has pale beige skin, is a female about 11 years old. She lives in a herd of about 17 adult female and juvenile elephants, all with gray skin. Although a few tourists and locals had reported seeing her before, the first confirmed sighting was by H.K.Janaka, a field researcher at Sri Lanka's Centre for Conservation and Research, which has been studying the country's roughly 4,000 elephants for 12 years. The elephant has been dubbed "Sue," which means "white" in Sinhalese.

Sue will be of mating age soon, if she isn't pregnant already. But because the gene that produces an albinism is recessive, she won't produce an albino unless she mates with an albino male. That may not be as unlikely as it seems. More and more elephant habitat has been converted to farmland in recent years, so the hungry creatures tend to forage in it--behavior which gets them shot at a rate of three a week . If herds decline and inbreeding increases(which experts say hasn't happened yet), mutations like the one that produces albinism--a failure of the body to generate pigment--could increase.

But when you say 1 year, is that from creating an account?

Heh, I've only been here four months and I act like I run the show. I think I lost my original password, and created a new account, but I wasn't active before then.

Me too.

Seeing Italy in action was a joke that year, so I supported Germany.

Please someone stop Brazil from winning further World Cups.

Could we move this to VVV? I think we all want to keep this thread open.

And yes, I remember France '98. We were all talking about how the French put laxatives in the Brazilians' breakfast.

Speaking of laxatives.

Did you know 0.5 ml of phenolphtlalein still has a laxative effect even after you wash the cup you put it in with detergent twice?

During the 1990 World Cup, Argentina tried to put Roipnol (!) into the drinks of Brazil.

Lol. Do you know what phenolphtalein does if you get a large enough dose? It causes terrible diaorrhea.

Wow, it's not just an indicator? There you go kids, experiment with phenophtalien now!

I wonder if I will be as good as Andrea when I reach 1 year.
