A new feature I'll bring to you everyday I'm employed as a Desk Assistant at ABC World News Now. Since most of the stories don't get mentioned on-air, and we put a lot of work into finding weird news, why let them go to waste???? I'll just copy and paste them here. Enjoy!

Kenya's elephants send text messages to rangers
Kimani, a huge bull elephant, can be seen with his collar containing a sim card, Friday, Sept. 26, 2008 in the Ol Pejeta conservancy near Mt. Kenya. Save the Elephants has set up a project where they placed a mobile phone SIM card in an elephants collar, then set up a virtual 'geofence' using a global positioning system that mirrored the conservatory's boundaries.

Look forward to tomorrow's "Morning Papers" brought to you by the Desk Assistants at ABC News headquarters in New York.

Until next time...
