A Woman Loves Hippos A Normal Amount, What About It?

You know when you wake up in your hippo bed and you roll over and move a few of the hippo pillows out of the way so you can get out and put on your hippo slippers and walk to the hippo shower, because even though you’ve tried in the past, you just CANNOT feel fully woken up without taking a hippo shower? Yeah. We’ve all had days before. We’re all alive, and I have to assume that most of us aren’t homeless. So I’m not sure what this news report’s angle is, singling this woman out just because, in addition to having a normal home life, she happens to drive a hippo car. (And it just happens to be her second hippo car.) Uhh, yeah. And? So yeah she has a hippo car and her home is full of hippos because she saw Fantasia a while ago and since then she’s just loved hippos, and all of her millions of hippo things have names, and, you know, whatever, but where’s the story here? Listen, ANY of us could have a hippo car if we wanted one. We’ve all thought about it and weighed the pros and cons and, to be sure, the pros outweigh the cons every single time but that’s when you realize that there are more things to consider then just pros and cons. Like the fact that you’d have to buy a car first and maybe some of us don’t have the funds or even the need for a car? We just shouldn’t have to compete like this, is all I’m saying. We all appreciate hippos the exact right amount, which is obsessively.

Awww. A new baby hippo has been born in a zoo in India. It’s so new that the video doesn’t even have narration, just oddly quiet video of the hippos:

Cute, but remember: just as bunnies bite, hippos kill!

They’re Going To Throw This Baby Hippo In The Lion Cage

A baby hippo named Farasi was recently born in a zoo in Switzerland, but they don’t have room for him, so they’re considering feeding him to the lions!:

Obviously, there’s a huge protest against this, and Farasi is cute now, but before you get too outraged, keep in mind that the hippo kills more people in its native Africa than any other animal. (That’s a Trivial Pursuit Genus 1 answer, right there. For the pie piece.)
