I'm old enough to remember the Matterhorn before they spiffed it up. Outside it looked cool. The interior was disappointing- it was obvious you were in a man made structure with a skeleton of steel. Rather surprising for Disneyland, which is usually a master at disguising anything out of place.
I'd like to see this done with all sorts of variables- plain robots, flashy robots, robots with different expressions on their faces... ...would a snooty or surly looking 'bot be helped as much as a friendly one?
Good heavens! The Puffy Shirt, the Bubble Boy, the Marble Rye, the Frogger, Man Hands, Crazy Joe, the Manakin, the Calzone, the Fusili Jerry, the Man Bra, the Cigar Store Indian, the Cuban Cigars, Jujy Fruits, Junior Mints, the Doll, the Raincoat, the Label Maker, Mr Marbles...
In my tropical fish shop days we had to deal with smaller versions of these bastards. Typically they hide by day and chew up the reef at night. They sting too. You can even buy a special trap for catching them, but I never saw one big enough to catch the big guy.
That cracked me up, so I sent the link to some friends. Shockingly, they were unfamiliar with the optical illusion that spawned this and thought it was some kind of "inner beauty" thing. Yecch!
We're seeing the elephants' indoor quarters. This zoo also has outdoor quarters. I have mixed feelings about elephants in zoos. Some zoos do a better job than others. Does the zoo provide (and rotate) toys and diversions for them? Do they have different surfaces for them to walk on?(hard surfaces can lead to serious foot problems,) Do they have company? Are they roughed up by the keepers? Are they ever chained in place? How much room do the elephants have?
The luckiest captive elephants end up at the The Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee. Way better than any zoo I've seen.

Best cat name ever.
Actually, best pet name ever.
(Glad to see he's treated well.)
I'd be more smug about it if it wasn't so annoying.
They should rename it "Bye Bye"
