Shaken, not stirred.
Here’s a story everyone can relate to: After his trailer caught fire, Russian circus trainer Leonid Labo found himself and his two middle-aged elephants stranded amid Siberia’s brutally bone-chilling landscape. To keep his pachyderms from freezing, he fed them ten liters of vodka (each) diluted in warm water. A zoo director later said the move “saved the animals from frostbite and pneumonia, without harming or even intoxicating them.” [AP]
