It’s Fun to Know: The Elephant Trunk Snorkel

By ETR

New fossil finds have lent credence to the theory that elephant trunks evolved to work as snorkels. The fossils, from a purported elephant ancestor the size of a large pig, were found in an area of Egypt that was made up of swamps and rivers in prehistoric times. Chemical analysis of the fossil teeth showed that the animal lived in fresh water and ate freshwater plants.

A competing theory holds that elephant trunks evolved to serve as a fifth appendage that could reach beyond the animal’s tusks.

Finding Happiness and Hope in Tough Times

Feeling down because of the current state of the economy? Michael Masterson presented a simple way to overcome those feelings of despair in his article “Defeating Depression Before It Defeats You.” ETR readers took comfort in his words. Here’s some of what they had to say:

“I have always admired Michael’s writings & this is another needed message he has delivered. Thank you.”

S. Ford

“Thank you so much for your wonderful article. It was so very helpful and accurate. Self Esteem is exactly the crux of the problem.”

Luann C.

“Good article!

“I have been out of work for almost a year. I have no financial assets anymore, and I am 63 years old. But I work out every day, climb a mountain every weekend, and I have not given up looking for a job. Sure, lots of people would say a 63-year-old guy is not going to find a good job again. I say they are morons!

“Anyone in this predicament should stay active (exercise). Keep the blood pumping and maybe the brain will come up with a new idea.

“Over the course of the last year, I have learned so much more about business (Ready, Fire, Aim) and Internet marketing in particular that I just know it will pay off eventually.

“Thanks for continuing to inspire me!”

Bill M.

“Great Pep Talk!

“At 66, I’ve lost my retirement and nearly all of my savings. I am still hoping to do something productive. I am working on my AWAI copywriting program, and hope to finish next month. The bumps in life can be disturbing, but you have to keep going. Try to smile whenever you can. I find it helps!”

Larry R.
