| Hippos Terrorize Siberian Fishermen! |
| 2004-08-08 |
| TWO Russian anglers quietly sharing a vodka as they waited for fish to bite in a Siberian river fled for their lives when two hippos broke the surface and shattered the peace of a summer day, Itar-Tass news agency has reported. "Have another pull, Sergei. Yeah, I see it too." Malvina, the female hippo, and her companion Kenigs had escaped from a zoo at Bolshaya Rechka, about 200km north of Omsk, it said. Leave this out and you have more anecdotal evidence for global warming. The terrified anglers sped to the village, one on foot, the other by bicycle, and alerted zoo keepers, who found the animals quietly grazing in a field. "Hippopotamus" is Greek for "river horse." The name dates from ancient times when the critters were common in the Nile valley, where they were a source of amazement for Greek tourists. It is pretty good evidence that these ancient Greek tourists had access to some fairly potent alcohol themselves. |

| #3 .com, can you replace the hippo's face with Kerry and the Kangaroo's with Teresa's? That would look so much better I think. |
