Elephants think humans are cute

You must have read or heard the same article. Apparently they'd done brain scans of humans ans elephants and found the same bits of the brain fired up when humans interact with cute puppies as with elephants meeting "cute" humans. That said, now I recount this, it does sound like a bit of a wind-up

On 24th January 1914 twenty seven panes of glass from the Kibble Palace where broken by a bomb allegedly planted by militant suffragettes. A second explosion was narrowly avoided when the burning end of a lighted fuse was cut of by the night stoker. Evidence that it was the work of suffragettes included the impression of high-heeled ladies shoes in the soft ground and a lady’s black silk scarf found nearby. (
