Elephant Strong-arms Drivers

Alongside traffic, feuding kids in the backseat, and the occasional rude motorist, add elephants to the list of things that make driving difficult. Sources in India say an especially stubborn elephant has been causing all sorts of havoc along the eastern highways, refusing to let people pass until they offer up a little food. He's even been known to stick his trunk through an open window and sniff around for any hidden treasure! One local resident went so far as to call the actions an old-fashioned hold-up. Authorities in India are considering microchipping elephants to keep track of their whereabouts—and keep them in line!
