Killer Hippos


People may joke about the "killer" hippo chasing the girl in "White Gorilla", but hippos do kill people regularly. Usually it's because someone accidentally bumps into one hidden in the water, but if you get between a mother and her calf, watch out. (Dr. Livingston had one destroy his boat, and Gerald Durrell heard about one killing several people - just before he got into a canoe!)Try www.straightdope.com for more info. So... when is "Perils of the Jungle" going to come out? I like how the natives appear to worship Jackie Coogan!
