Prague Zoo to Produce Paper From Elephant Output

The Prague zoo seems to have found a magic spell to turn poop into gold. According to news sources, it plans to establish an on-site manufacture to produce paper from elephant droppings. Surprisingly, this seemingly outlandish idea is already well-established in many zoos, and it has a long tradition in Sri Lanka. And, let’s not forget, many people even make money from their own bullshit.

So what would you do with a sheet of Prague zoo paper? Here are some ideas:

Paint a stunning calligraphy for your partner’s anniversary. Protip: Use only ink that harmonizes with the canvas.
Wrap your children’s lunch sandwich – with that certain extra bit of flavor. The kids will love it.
Write a hearty thank-you note to your congressman and rest assured you’ll finally get the full attention you deserve.

You will find a beer garden with a perfect view over the old town, Europe’s oldest wooden carousel, the place where the first Czech electric tramway was launched and streets full of garden restaurants. You’ll learn where the world’s largest Stalin statue was located and why many buildings on our way had to be reinforced with wooden beams.
