This morning, while browsing through a "social" search of the AP News Wire, I found this story Rubythe Elephant Monitored for Happiness.
 
Long-story-short, Ruby the African elephant who now lives in the Knoxville, Tennessee Zoo, once lived in the LosAngeles, California Zoo with her elephant friend Gita. LA is suing to bring Ruby back, Knoxville is watching to see ifRuby socially networks with the elephants in her new digs.
 
Elephants naturally live in a complex social system a fluid fission-fusion society augmented by a sophisticated long distance calllingsystem.
 
Which inspired me to pen the following Haiku:
 
" Ruby Call Home or ElephantYAZNS?"
 
Knoxville or LA,
Yet Another Zoo Network?
Allomothers call!
