The Daily Mail reports on the incredibly strange story of what some Thailand zookeepers did with their elephants. These elephants were painted black and white to look like the pandas who have stolen all their fans. The elephant is Thailand’s national symbol, but the country has gone panda-crazy since the birth of a female panda [...] In perhaps the most daft attack on blogging as free speech, the High Court in London (UK) has ruled bloggers have no right to anonymity, as reported by Yahoo!
