Despite the legend of Saint George slaying a dragon, St George was a real person.  Historical records show that his father was a career soldier in the Roman army, while his mother was from Lydda (Lod) Israel.  What is strange is that
Saint George never actually set foot in England; he spent his life in what today we call Turkey and the Middle East.

As with many saints, it is Saint George's death on 23rd April in 303 AD that cements his anniversary in the calendar.  Indeed, it was his gruesome death in Palestine, that was instrumental in the
Catholic Church declaring St George an illustrious and Great Martyr.  The precise date of St George's birth is not recorded, but it was believed to be in 275 AD, thus he lived for only 28 years.

Seeing Pink Elephants

If a friend tells you they are "seeing pink elephants", then this is
serious.   What it means is they are suffering delirium tremens.
The condition and the accompanying hallucinations are caused by alcohol
poisoning.

Baby Pink Elephant

However, this cameraman, Mike Holding, had definitely not been drinking
when he captured these photos of a pink elephant in northern Botswana,
Africa. Experts believe it is probably an albino, which is an extremely rare
phenomenon in African elephants. While albinism is thought to be fairly
common in Asian elephants, it is much less common in the larger African
species.

Here we see the baby pink elephant attempting to shelter under its mother
because surviving is very difficult in the harsh African bush as the glaring
sun may cause blindness and skin problems.

added that the 'phone was now working fine, concluding with 'except that
all money was being returned to callers upon completion of each call.'
