We're standing here and one of our guys says, "Hey! Look! There's something going on over at the GM plant across the street. There's cops everywhere!"
We all rush to the windows, and sure enough, there's cop cars and a line of people? walking up the road. We surmise that GM had announced some layoffs this morning for early ’09 and Orion’s one of the effected plants, so they must be picketing.
We stand for a bit more...and look...and I'm like, "Um guys. Those aren't people. Those are elephants."
"What? Are you smoking something?"
I replied, "Um yeah. They're elephants."
We look...sure enough. They're elephants.
The circus is at the Palace, which is very near to my office. Apparently, elephants have to come in on train, not by semi, and the nearest train depot is the GM plant...so they must have dropped the elephants at the plant and are walking them to the Palace.
You want to bring all productivity to a screeching halt in an office? Walk some elephants up the road.

That is really cool. I double-dog dare ya to run out there and get them to let you ride one (with pictures!) when they head back to the train. :D
That's so funny and strange! Glad you got some photos of the event.
