Subject: [Leica] 250 Fibreglass Elephants have invaded London

Seems like these fiberglass painted amimals are a fad that every city has to
do. Chicago did cows, Louisville, Kentucky did horses, and my hometown of
Fort Wayne, Indiana did mastodons. The even in Fort Wayne was a fundraiser
for Purdue University's Fort Wayne campus, whose mascot is a mastodon
(students from the campus unearthed the skeleton of one of these prehistoric
animals on a farm near Fort Wayne back in the 1970s).
