We Say Goodbye To Solon Once More PADERBORN, GERMANY - Overzealous zookeeper Solon fed his constipated elephant Stefan 22 doses of animal laxative and more than a bushel of berries, figs and prunes before the plugged-up pachyderm finally let fly -- and suffocated the keeper under 200 pounds of poop! Investigators say ill-fated Solon, 46, was attempting to give the ailing elephant an olive-oil enema when the relieved beast unloaded on him like a dump truck full of mud. "The sheer force of the elephant's unexpected defecation knocked Solon to the ground, where he struck his head on a rock and lay unconscious as the elephant continued to evacuate his bowels on top of him," said flabbergasted Paderborn police detective Dik Dern. "With no one there to help him, he lay under all that dung for at least an hour before a watchman came along, and during that time he suffocated. "It seems to be just one of those freak accidents that happen." There is much talk on the Flambe Thread of erecting a statue in Solon's likeness, consisting of the elephant and the 10 ton dump. The elephant could not be reached to be given a prize. The Incident: spoontard.com
