	defective yeti: Research Day: How Much Does An Adult, Male, African Elephant Weight?
		If you hollowed out a male, African elephant, I can't imagine you could fit seventy 200-pound human beings inside the skin, even if you ground those people into slurry and poured 'em in through a funnel (free Science Fair project idea right there, if any kid are reading this).
		Back when Mad Cow and Foot-and-Mouth Disease were in the news at the same time, someone was discussing the problem of disposing of herds of cattle to control the infestation (or infection, or whatever) and I was told that one could reasonably use 1000 pounds as the average cow weight, 2/ton.
		For the science fair pouring of the human slurry into the hollowed-out elephant, I have considered various methods and I think it seems most appropriate to elevate the trunk of the hollow elephant, and pour it in through an industrial-sized funnel.
