So wrong, but so funny...but I'm known to have a sick sense of humour so don't laugh just because I am.

That's sad. Of course, the guy would probably be glad to know that his last act entertained people, him being a circus performer and all.

Is that a true story? Sounds fake, but with all the weird going around, I wouldn't be suprised if it was real.

Ban trampolines, so we won't have kids going into the mouths of hippos! Then, ban hippos!

I'm not really sure what else is on that site. I did a google search on the word "dwarf" and that came up. I think the rest of that site has odd ball stories like that.

Just when you think you've seen it all, then something like this comes along.

Copying the text of the scanned article, for people too lazy to click on the link (or in case it gets moved in future):

Hippo eats dwarf

A HIPPOPOTAMUS has swallowed a dwarf in a circus accident in northern Thailand.

"A dwarf, nicknamed Od, died when he bounced sideways from a trampoline and was swallowed by a yawning hippopotamus, which was waiting to appear in the next act," the Pattaya Mail reported.

"Vets on the scene said Hilda the Hippo had a gag reflex that automatically caused her to swallow."

The vets said it was the first time the hefty vegetarian had ever eaten a circus performer.

"Unfortunately, the 1000-plus spectators continued to applaud wildly until commonsense dictated there had been a tragic mistake. Police said the trampoline had been sent for forensic analysis."

I suppose it would be good if we had a zoologist on hand who could tell us whether a hippo could realistically swallow an entire dwarf. This would go a long way toward figuring out whether this story is true.

laughing at this = sadism. I personally, for whatever reason, only found it mildly amusing....maybe I wasn't awake enough yet...
