Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just fell again. This is very tedious. At least it was a quasi-directed fall, so I only hit my neck and not my head (I fell in the foot between my shower's glass door and the counter of my sink, so odds were not on my side).
I think that's a sign I should go into the office before any other mishaps hap.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Damn. Try not to break that noggin of yours, OK?

Not so manly. But not filled with caring about it either.

Elephants electrocuted in drunken rampage
GAUHATI, India - Six Asiatic wild elephants were electrocuted as they went berserk after drinking rice beer in India's remote northeast, a wildlife official said Tuesday.
Nearly 40 elephants came to a village on Friday looking for food. Some found beer, which farmers ferment and keep in plastic and tin drums in their huts, said Sunil Kumar, a state wildlife official.
They got drunk, uprooted a utility pole carrying power lines and were electrocuted in Chandan Nukat, a village nearly 150 miles west of Shillong, the capital of Meghalaya state, Kumar said.
"There would have been more casualties had the villagers not chased them away," said Dipu Mark, a local conservationist.
The elephants are known to have a taste for rice beer brewed by tribal communities in India's northeast. Four wild elephants died in similar circumstances in the region three years ago.
