h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

What are the odds of 6 African elephants taking over the world? I was just wondering.

Trunky to one, I reckon, or more if they're the one's with big ears, I forget.

Are you thinking African elephants or asian elephants. There is a difference because asian elephants have nuclear capabilities.

I think there is a higher likelihood of the elephants disputing their nuclear capabilities than of them taking control of the world. I think you'd find that they have too many protruding bodyparts for them to wish to control a button of ultimate destruction. They always struck me as rather peaceful animals, of the big, beautiful, buy me a doughnut variety.

I could be wrong. Who am I to speak for the elephants? They would probably rather have nuclear abilities than be misplacenly cast in another unsuitable Disney film.

But these are idle assumptions and I, personally, would sell out more readily to Disney than to Bush and his space-age Star Wars defence.

Perhaps I am taking this one step too far...?!?

I think you are misplacing your trust in the "big and beautiful, buy me a doughnut" elephants. Most of the greatest dictators put on that same face, until one day BAMM! they are the worlds most horrible person. I think the elephants will pick up on this. So be warned! Elephant trigged nuclear armagedon is nigh!
