From the you can’t make this sort of stuff up file:

hippoeatsdwarfOh dear.

UPDATE: Snopes disproves it. See the comments. If it had of been real, I would have hated to cover that story. I need to stick with goat murder.

    Something is wrong with me that I laughed at this!

    I did too.

    It’s ok to laugh, because it is, indeed, made up:

    Well, I stand corrected. Thanks. It is funny though. I will add the disclaimer. Thanks Gary!

    Thank you, Gary, I am relieved.

    Surprising that something in the “you can’t make this up file” was indeed made up by someone.

    Funny funny nonetheless.

    Thanks

    Part of me is glad that it’s not true, but the Batboy/Weekly World News fangirl I am sorta wishes …
    I won’t say it. Then I might be eaten by a hippo and there is no good to come from that.

    Fake or not, I LOVE that it was characterized as a “freak accident”.

    ONE OF US! ONE OF US!

    Sarcastro, you just made me laugh harder than I have in days.
    I bow to you.

    Am I a bad person for wanting this to be true?

    However, I’d be a lot more impressed if the dwarf ate the hippo – that’d be damn near heroic.
