    "Villagers in Malawi are in fear for their lives and worry about impending food shortages due to a bereaved hippopotamus that has been on a rampage..." --BBC report, in Earthweek, 5 January 2002.

    Actually the hippo was bypassed for a warden's job at Kasungu National Park because his Columbia Commonwealth University degree was rejected, and he is seeking revenge on the Malawian government.

    John, why don't they solve both problems by turning the big guy into thousands of hippo burgers? You want fries with that?

    There was a piece on the local news a couple of weeks back about a guy who has done humanitarian work in Malawi since he was first stationed there with the Peace Corps many years ago. I was shocked at what a pit the country was, you'd think the government's resources would be better spent on feeding its citizens than accrediting California/Montana schools.

    Man, those less-than-wonderful degrees can sure stir up a stink, huh? Maybe the old guy can get a job at the local Burger King. He could still use his title:
