Elephants and Gorillas

The Elephant In The Room is an idiom for a topic that's on everyone's mind but is not being discussed. Conversely, an 800-lb Gorilla is someone or something that cannot be ignored (as in the old joke: "What does an 800-lb Gorilla eat? — Anything he wants to!"). Not to be too obscure but events today reminded me of both of these idioms.
