SliceOPi Jan 03, 2005	I once had a dog that ate an elephant, the dog was quite large.
unklemyke Jan 03, 2005	Duh! So who doesn't know that elephants are herbivores? How could the neighbor be so stupid as to accuse the elephant? BTW - How do you eat an elephant? Easy - one bite at a time!
funkeyMonKee Jan 03, 2005	haha, well, i didn't know that...so that was funny!
bcarrick Jan 05, 2005	If the people were in SE Asia they probably would have ate the dog themselves.

Israel-Girl Mar 24, 2005	i must be stupid too cause i 4got that elephants are herbivores
froggygg Mar 26, 2005	Cute one. I got it right off but enjoyed it just the same. to runscapekiller: An herbivore does not eat meat (that would be a carnivore). Herbivores only eat green leafy food (somewhat like a vegetarian.) Think of an elephant as a really large salad eater!
zombiefreak Mar 30, 2005	elephants dont eat dogs i always wanted a pet elephant tho...
kcelf27 Apr 24, 2005	I don't know if anyone will see this comment because it is almost the end of April and the last comment was in March, but there were a lot of mean comments on this one. I figured it was a joke, and lots of things happen in a joke that don't in real life...for example, animals talking to eachother, or walking into a bar for that matter I thought it was very cute
savortheflavor May 10, 2005	That was one that I got right away
atomsmasher22 Jun 13, 2005	i liked it. and you dont need to make mean comments
Question_Mark Jun 15, 2005	JEEZ! I never realized it was that simple. Well, you can all do this to me
needlepoint1324 Jun 16, 2005	at first i figured the answer would be more complex! but that was a common sence answer
blca Jul 08, 2005	I got the answer the second it said that the elephant ate the dog!
Kalliann Aug 12, 2005	Well I imagine that an elephant would eat just about anything if it was hungry! Okay okay I am just kidding. I thought that it was a cute teaser.
smarty_blondy Sep 30, 2005	Pretty cute teaser, easy but still fun. Keep them coming.
trumpetsgirl Oct 11, 2005	Well if he thinks elephants eat dogs i hope he left cause it just might eat him next.
OldChinaHand Jul 07, 2006	It seems that too many, takes too little, too serious...it was all it should have been...fun. Thanks.
