From: Bob Calbridge Date: Tue, 14 Mar 1995 10:28:44 -0600 Subject: Elephant Parts All this talk about the Nez concert is well and good. Unfortunately it's untimely. I don't suppose that I'd be able to get them to delay it until I get out to the West Coast. :-( So I thought I'd start another topic....Elephant Parts. Does anyone have any idea where the name came from with regards to the content of the video? My theory is that it relates to the poem about the five blind men who each touch a different part of an elephant and gain different notions of what an elephant is. The one who touches the trunk thinks an elephant is like a snake, the one holding the tail thinks it's like a rope, the leg makes it seem like a tree trunk, his sides feel like a wall and I forget what the ear appears to be. It all seems to express the different perceptions we all have on what life is about and the many ways we have of looking at things. Or should I even speak? For I know nothing. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= - - Bob Calbridge = Dallas County Community College District - = bcalbridge@dcccd.edu PC Systems Programmer = - - Postmaster - =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Patience is a virtue.
