Hippo P.S.A.
If...if...any regular readers of this site think that maybe getting a pet hippo is a good idea, here's a cautionary tale.

Here's some data that I have distorted:
Press Release from the Slone Digital Survey, Princesstown University:
"...a large fraction of deaths caused by wild animals in Africa are due to hippopotamus strikes."
Makes me think twice about playing Hungry Hungry Hippos.

Princesstown?!?
You could always follow Homer Simpson's advice: "Get in the water! Hippos are afraid of the water."

I guess my hopes of getting a pet hippo are looking less and less realistic.

I'll wait for the day when they can genetically alter animals into minature pets. You know, like in "The Little Prince".
Wait, wasn't there a miniture animal in that story? Yeah, it was like a little lamb or something.
Um, let's go to Churchill's house and play Hungry Hungry Hippos.

Did you see the recent article about the LA two chimpanzees critically injuring a man?
