A clean hippo is a happy hippo...
and remember: safety first -
never stand between a hippo and a dishwasher
Philosophy, challenging but well argued comments, politics, humour, international affairs, arts and entertainment, historical views about Iceland, sports... and gratuitous hippo pictures.
Yes, it would be fair to say this weblog is one of the bright little fragrant islands in that festering swamp of predicable mosquito infested mediocrity called the Internet.
But why a hippo? In a dishwasher? No... forget I asked. Some things are better left to the imagination.

fragrant islands
Not for long!
When a hippo clambers into some clean water, just to feel comfy and homely, it produces some poop and then vigerously mixes it into the water with its tail. I was "lucky" to see this in action at Whipsnade Zoo one time.

Sounds like, with a hippo on site, this island will be plenty fragrant soon enough.

I read once that hippos kill more people than any other large African animal. Someone annoys a hippo, the hippo grabs their leg in his mouth, goes underwater, and waits. The person drowns long before the hippo would.
Isn't that rather how the State works with people it dislikes?

A hippo? I thought it was John Prescott, sulking because he's been refused NHS treatment.

Mark, above, succeeds in turning a hippo in a dishwasher into a political point.

How the f*** did you fit Clare Short into a dishwasher?
Uh oh, watch out! She's getting ready to charge!
No she's not.
Uh oh, yes she is!
Wait a minute...
