Of course there is a gadget connection.
In pic 1 there is a sink with a stone basin, and in pic 2 there appears to be an old phone.

You just have to look harder... the tech is always there. And what do you think these pics were taken with - a gadget.

Wait, aren't Hippos incredibly dangerous when they become mature and goes into mating season? Especially the male Hippos?

I smell darwination here real soon.

btw, hippos eat people. that's why there are no people in these photos.

Best post ever.

Can it freestyle?

I think this is the perfect time to tell all fellow FuzzyWuzzyModo readers about the North American House Hippo

that's ridonkulous!

Pooper scooper anyhow? Dumb, I know, but i wonder where a 3000 lb pet hippo craps.

@Damage: Hippos account for the majority of fatalities there, above crocs, angry African elephants and lions.

Here's a plan. Feed the hippo some ecstasy, put a pink tutu on it, and reenact a scene from Fantasia.

Thank you, Rabid Penguin, thank you (even if you did steal my joke).

@Hiphopopotamus: exactly what I was thinking.
Overall, hippos are pretty awesome, but hip hop hippos (short for hiphopopotamouses) are about 56,000x as awesome as normal hippos.
Flight of the Conchords is the best show on HBO, hands down

OOOOooooOOOO also found this!

@Kaiser-Machead: That's not a plan. That's my childhood fantasy.

Hippos kill more people than the other African dangers put together.

Also, reading wikipedia, "hippos mark their territory by spinning their tails while defecating" - who needs a paint job?

There's totally video of this hippo and its family somewhere. They talk about how it's only allowed in certain rooms of the house now because it broke too many couches.

@shamoononon:
anywhere it wants
(i cant believe i got to use that)

Sounds like the North American House Hippo

If the tail starts spinning-RUN!

Funny, he's cleaner than my college roommate.

@Rabid Penguin: It's also bionic.

Sure its gadget related.

Bet that sink doesn't need a garbage disposal.

They can't fool me. They're just fattening it up! That thing better stay entertaining because the day the novelty of a pet hippo wears off is the night they have hippoburgers...and get supprise visit from a hungry tonytriple

I hope they save me a piece of the hippo's legendary "bacon gland".

@ramman345, @strider_mt2k: Would that be a poopeller?

cant even spell that name and now a pet?

I bet that hippo shits a house every day

Here is your Cliff Claven fun fact for the day: Hippos kill more than any other wild animal.

You think he's "Hungry Hungry"?

Animal Planet ran a documentary on Jessica (by John Waters, no less!) several times last fall and winter. It is a fascinating story about Jessica and her human keepers. You gotta see it to believe her, and they are not in it for the publicity. Truly an endearing piece of film making. Check Animal Planet and see if "Jessica the Hippo" is going to run again soon.

@Hiphopopotamus: I raise you Raffi and a puppet show.

I believe Animal Planet had a show about Jessica here. She tried lying on a bed and it collapsed instantly.

If the hippo tries to attack you, just run through a narrow doorway and watch it get stuck!

@kosikutioner: You totally beat me to it!

@Rabid Penguin: Excuse me, don't mean to correct you.. but hippos eat white plastic marbles, when you push down on their tails. It's ok. Alot of people make that mistake.

@bosskev:Ha! Thats good shit right there.

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas.

Did you get that thing I sent you?

I am South African... and if there is one thing they teach you growing up it's that Hippos kill more people in Africa than any other animal each year....so.... um good like with that!

@lpranal:
The colored plastic marbles represent the different races of people around the world... I thought that was obvious.

that thing thinks its people? nonsense. soylent green is people.

i want a hippoppotamus for x-mas only hippopotamus will do! Don't want a dog! no dinker toy! i want a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy!

<3 the song

Hippos do NOT kill people. You just wait till they open their mouths and then punch them. (Don't bother with body blows.) It will hurt them so bad they won't even get up after a 10-count.

@kaneshadow: Punch out FTW!

@kaneshadow:

Top post of the day.

Who says it's not a gadget?? Anyone can see it's an iHippo... you talk into it's butt and it spins its tail and recites the latest news from the Clinton/Obama campaign!

"What a world, am I right guys?!?"

I totally read that in Brucie's voice from GTA IV. I need to stop playing that game for an hour or two.

But will it blend?

I'm really sorry, just couldn't resist. Don't come after me PETA.

That thing is going to get absurdly huge. Maybe they can domesticate it, selectively breed it for thousands of years, and get a really great pet out of the deal.

I have 5 cats and I thought changing their litter was a nasty chore. Can't possibly compare to 1 hippo.

The more I know about hippos, the more I love my cats!

Hippos scare the shit out of me. I think it's the killing power.

@Damage: Yes. Owning a domesticated hippo is bad news. They kill zoo keepers regularly. (cite facts, hah!)
