Althalus,

I don't think the link is working.  :-/            

when I posted it, it was working fine, the site may be down.

Try these:

http://www.parascope.com/articles/0397/elephant.htm


they all work at the time of posting.

               

                 Thanks for the info,  Al.  All I knew about his life was from the movie.   :)  This tells alot more.

They put that in a Discovery Channel Special called
"Would you believe it" and its about a person born with a small trunk like an elephant's he had many tumors on his head and wanted to be like other people so he slept once regular and the weight of his head sufficated him.
