I think this is the first time QI didn't make me laugh at all.

Having that dullard with the dreads doesn't help... I don't understand why he was ever invited onto that show.


Ahhh Ross Noble and his psychedelic comedy, it's really not for everyone including me

Wait, so they can't swim, but they can float...what is the difference!


Shit floats but it can't swim. Same thing with hippos. Like a turd in the punch bowl.

Last time I pushed a hippo into a pool, she sued me.

Ba-dum-bump.

Here is a great picture of hippo teeth. Very alien looking.

As usual, don't believe anything you hear on QI.

Hippos have 36 teeth. [http://animal.discovery.com/fansites/wildkingdom/rumble/talk/talk.html]

^I think that's in reference to the Hungry Hungry Hippos board game where you clearly need to piss in to before any touching can commence.
Get with the times, man!


Ohhh! That makes much more sense. Thanks.

My guess is Hippos in Australia means what we (US) call Hip Waders.

Anyone?

...you are just confusing the issue with all those facts!

Blasphemer!

There is no evidence for this. This whole thing started because someone claimed to find documentation at an isolated monestary (i think in tibet) of Jesus' missing years. It was never confirmed, nor did anyone ever see the documents.
This is just yet another lie trying to cast doubt on the resurrection, so people won't believe that Christ was who He said He was. A lot of people can't make up their mind about Jesus..so they say He was a good man who was very wise. Well, if you read the scriptures you can't believe that. Jesus said outright He was God, and that He is the judge of the living and the dead..so either he is a liar or insane, or He was telling the truth and is our Lord and Savior. There isn't any middle ground there.

no shinyblurry.
there is no middle ground for you ,which has nothing to do with faith or belief in jesus but is entirely about YOUR belief in doctrine and dogma.
267 books of the bible..all by biblical authors yet only 66 IN the bible (KJV) or 73 (if you are catholic).
164 revisions.
over 22,000 mistranslations: CONFIRMED.
josephius flavius:debunked.
i can do this all day scooter.
as for jesus's life after resurrection i tend to agree that it is speculation based on rumor and tidbits of conjecture but the gospels themselves are based in many instances in the exact same way.
the bible is an incomplete text.
we now have:
the gospel of judas.
the gospel of mary.
the gospel of james.
the gospel of thomas.
and so much more but the church will never recognize anything apart from what has been canonized since 325 A.D.jesus didnt build the church..constantine,hippo and carthage did..nicean council 325 A.D.before that christianity would be unrecognizable to you or any other christian on the planet.
your comments have an evangelical flavor to them so i know my comment will be ignored because you are self-righteous in your own certitude based on a seriously flawed scriptural text.
any perceived deviation from canonized scripture is to be viewed as coming from satan and therefore a lie.
how very....dark ages of you.
only a fundamentalist or evangelical would view digging for the truth as a way to confuse and cast doubt.
is your faith based in jesus?
or a book?
because from what i have seen of your comments it is the latter.
well.you go have fun with that.

i saw a documentary where they showed hippos trying to poo and these weird catfish swimming literally up their ass trying to eat it, because the waters were so nutrient poor that was the only thing to eat. Given that, it would make sense to use the little tail thing to try and get the fish out of there.


There's a metaphor in there somewhere for the middle class.

Because knowing is half the battle.


the other half is lasers

I visited a zoo a few years back that had an elevated pool with plexiglass sides so you could see the hippos a'swimming. We went for a look, and almost immediately one of the swimming hippos took a dump. It it was less than a minute before the water in the tank was grassy green and opaque. ..couldn't see a thing.
They must filter the hell out of that tank.

Informative and disturbing in equal measure.
