Elephants are very large and very in charge. They're large and grey (sometimes other colors), but don't let that fool you; that's not all they do. The point of this paper is to discuss not only their awesomeness of elephants, but also to discuss the history of elephants. Truth be told not many people know the rich and wonderful history of these noble giants.

The word elephant comes from the African word Elleephinte, which in their crazy language meant: "The Trampler." That was because the elephants would often trample the African's grass huts and rather than building their huts out of superior stuff like we Americans do, they chose to name the elephants that and forget about it. The word elleephinte was translated to the English word elephant by the Thomas Mann, a great writer and also historian. When he left Germany to escape persecution in Nazi Germany he took a quick stop over to Africa where he was so amazed by the majestic beasts that he had twenty shipped to America, which is where we got our first elephants.

However when elephants were first brought to America they were both hated and revered. The god-fearing Americans began to worship the elephants as gods, but soon after began to hate them for tempting their faith with the one true god. That's why elephants don't have many teeth. Ten of the original twenty elephants were killed, and two more were killed by poachers. The eight remaining elephants were put into zoos across the world until it was discovered that two elephants of the opposite sex were required to make new elephants. Unfortunately this was discovered too late and the elephants died off, which is why we shipped fifty more here from Africa.

After that things were pretty much dandy for elephants. They began appearing in major motion pictures and were also found serving food in the famous elephant themed diners of the 1930s. That fad died out about two months after it started because they began to realize just how much elephants pooped. The elephants were moved to either jobs in the zoo or as hit men. People believed that the point of elephants was to totally flip out and kill people, it was discovered later that was in fact the point of ninjas, but by the time they found it out it was too late. Elephants already monopolized the industry, which is why there was the great elephant purge of '78. All remaining elephants were moved to either zoos are sold as real estate.

I sure hoped you learned a lot about elephants, because I sure did while I was writing this essay and I know that my teachers that I'm not supposed to use run on sentences with no punctuation and to not talk about myself in the first person but I was just so amazed by how awesome elephants were that I just had to write this totally awesome paper and I really can't believe that I learned enough to write this much. Elephants rock.
