Killer hippos

Yesterday NPR had a story about a killer hippo on the Congo River. Killer hippos are no joke. The NPR report brought back memories of the disturbing and surreal experience I had almost six years ago when the students in my environment club and I went on our weekly trip to the river only to find a hippo playing with the corpse of a teenage bather it had recently killed.

The NPR story had an interesting twitst. The name of "my" killer hippo was America; the name of the Congolese killer is Osama. I wonder which would leave bigger tusk marks if America and Osama were to rumble.
