Some chimpanzees organise themselves into small armies and go to war against other chimps. But then some think they (and other great apes) should be afforded full human rights, because we are all so similar genetically. And humans aren't the only artistic animals either. Has anyone heard the Thai Elephant Orchestra? It's good stuff. Kind of pachyderm gamelan. http://www.mulatta.org/Thaielephantorch.html I was surprised by the way th 'War' thread turned out, but I don't think anyone should be surprised to see politics discussed in a group that listens to Radical Jewish Culture and Free Jazz.

Speaking of the Thai Elephant Orchestra, wasn't there supposed to be a second disc coming out of their music? I haven't seen or heard anything about that in a while. rob -- "Bones heal.

I happened across the Thai Elephant Conservation Center on my trip to thailand in october, its pretty much a must see if visiting norhern thailand. Also an easy hop off point because the bus from lampang to chaing mai passes the center entry road. Unfortunately the elephants did not improvise, they played a nice synchopated number that seemed very well rehearsed. However, they did try their trunk at some abstract art! The center was really an amazing place to visit, other highlights were a luc chang [baby elephant] great noodle resaurant, and elephant dung paper making! heres a shot of the luc chang http://216.92.223.166/thailand_sanuk/Pages/Image30.html jt --- Robert Pleshar <rpleshar@midway.uchicago.edu> wrote:
