Hippos are Vegetarian

[zzapper]

 A dwarf nicknamed Od has died in a circus accident in northern Thailand. 
According to the Pattaya Mail, he "bounced sideways from a trampoline and was 
swallowed by a yawning hippopotamus which was waiting to appear in the next 
act. Vets on the scene said Hilda the Hippo had a gag reflex that 
automatically caused her to swallow." The vet said it was the first time the 
hefty vegetarian had ever eaten a circus performer. "Unfortunately, the 
1,000-plus spectators continued to applaud widely until common-sense dictated 
that there had been a tragic mistake". (Melbourne Herald Sun - July 16th, 
1999)
