Elephant on acid tops mad experiments list

They say there is a fine line between genius and madness.
Scientists hoped the LSD would trigger "musth"
And perhaps when Warren Thomas, the director of Lincoln Park Zoo in Oklahoma City took aim at an elephant with a giant syringe full of LSD he thought he was on the brink of making an important scientific discovery.
But an hour later, as his target, a 14-year-old male called Tusko keeled over stone dead, perhaps Mr Thomas might have accepted he had crossed the line into lunacy.
The study, carried out in 1962, now tops a list of the most bizarre and outrageous experiments carried out in the name of science.
