TRIVIA TODAY - Wednesday, May 4, 2011
Greetings Infomaniacs,
Monday night I finished the last class of my first semester
of grad school. Woohoo! Now I can relax for a whole week
until the summer semester begins. My plan is to finally sit
down and read the book Water for Elephants. I've heard
excellent reviews from a few people who read the book, and
the previews of the movie have me dying to see it.
But, I want to read the book first, and that is my plan for
the week. It made me wonder how much water an elephant
actually drinks, so I looked up some facts about elephants
to share with you today. If you want to know how much water
an elephant drinks a day, you have to keep reading!
Enjoy!
