A historic piece recounts Siam’s royal reverence for white elephants once central to kingship rites. It notes the animal’s ceremonial handling, lavish presentations, and the eventual decline of such beliefs as the practice waned and elephants were moved to less ceremonial settings.
The piece traces billiards origins to an old game called pall Mall or paille maille in Pall Mall London, played on a weary alley site. It notes curved cues, wooden balls, evolution to pockets, and a reduced table size, with the game preserving its form for centuries. It ends with a stray line about happiness as a dynamic state rather than a passive one.
