Drunk elephants kill six people

You just can't make this stuff up.

Drunken elephants have trampled at least six people to death in the northeast Indian state of Assam, local officials say.
The herd of wild elephants stumbled across the supplies of homemade rice beer after they destroyed granaries in search of food.
The incident happened near Tinsukia, 550 kilometres (344 miles) from the Assam capital, Guwahati.
"They smashed huts and plundered granaries and broke open casks to drink rice beer. The herd then went berserk killing six people," a forestry official told AFP news agency.
...
"It has been noticed that elephants have developed a taste for rice beer and local liquor and they always look for it when they invade villages," an elephant expert in Guwahati told Reuters news agency.

Which reminds me, I should probably post something on that. Thanks.
