for some reason, that whole article sounded like Al Pacino in my head.

am i the only one who imagines a cutesy little girl being mauled by a vicious Hippo as being a hilarious conclusion to the
"I want a hippopotamus for xmas" song?

Are hippos pretty much whales that didn't evolve all the way?

or is it the other way around?

We used to think so, but apparently DNA told us otherwise, Whales are apparently evolved from small wolf-like creatures that got very good at swimming.

Have read about the hippo thing recently, apparently enough hippos got away, and south America's climate is close enough to that of Africa that the hippos that they are breeding in the wild causing one hell of a dilemma for naturalists. One the one hand they are a very destructive invasive species that's extremely dangeous ot people and native wildlife; on the other they are a very endangered species in their native habitat.

At the snack bar, be sure to try the Turkey Presidente--served face-down in a shallow gravy.

They should say is once again a theme park. Have you heard of the parties he used to have?

He used to pay people to climb the trees around the property naked, just for ambiance.

"He rose from nothing. He was obviously very intelligent, even though he used that intelligence against society," a Columbian druglord touring the site remembered.

all columbians are druglords... right?

No references to Dr. Rockso?

Yeah, but is the theme park interactive?

Here I thought the story was going to be about George Jung.

I thought it was funny that the article mentioned the Hippo doesn't have any natural enemies in South America. It doesn't have any in Africa either.

The slide show is a joke. It's pictures of the place snapped off a tv show about the place...and it looks like the show sucked.

I don't understand why the CIA brought hippos to South America.

 
JewZeppy 2009-11-05 08:04:48 PM  
Ahh, the silver triangle of trade running from the Horn of Africa to the Amazon and then onto the New World. Following the trail of Columbus and natives likely before him.

The question then is, what did Africa get out of it?

/The usual.
