Ohh I'm not sure. Hippos are pretty viscous
Yep, the hippopotamus, usually defensive and territorial rather than truly vicious.
It's skin weighs a ton, is an inch and a half thick and bullet proof to most guns and accounts for 25% of the animals weight.
It's halitosis is also part of it's defence, breath so bad it scares other animals away.
George Washington had hippopotamus tusk teeth.
That must have been a challenge for his dentist.
One hell of an overbite.
Was he a hippocrite?
Hi Kirsty So glad the op went smoothly for your Granny Brodie and fingers crossed for the results now - but what a trooper! Only paracetamol after surgery that's amazing! All good wishes for a speedy recovery from the op.That's great! The only thing better than custard creams and coffee is custard cream and tea! Yum!!
Granny Brodie is well - thank you everyone for your kind prayers and well wishes.
She got operated on Sunday just past and the surgeon managed to remove a growth the size of a large tomato. She is now in the high decency unit and they hope to have her in another ward later this week and hopefully she will get home at the later end of next week. Unfortunately we need to wait 3 months until we find out if she's cleared of cancer but we are all hopeful! She is such a fighter! You know she is refusing any pain killers - only taking paracetamol because she said everything else makes her dizzy and she wants to be fully composmentis lol despite the fact she's just been through a serious operation and had half her bowl removed at 81 years old. If that's not a fighter I don't know what is!
Thanks again for everyone being their for me last weekend
Oh I'm so proud! That was just a guess lol
Thank you so much lyn I really appreciate it. She's a fighter and I'm sure she will get through it
Can't remember if he was training to be a lawyer or doctor - I think he took the Hippocratic oath
Kirsty's gran got through a tricky operation with flying colours and Lyn's making puns again.
Still worried about Ken.
No news on the gofundme for 6 days and nothing here though Morgan was logged on last night.
Strange.

It didn't hip post?
Strange.
Hmmm - it was straight after your question and just one word - hippos - but it ain't there now!
Strange forces at work! That's my hippothesis.
You didn't mention hipolitics?
I just checked for any news too. Hope all is well.
Very nice
