I’m not quite sure what Esso is–maybe a gas station?–but it doesn’t lessen my enjoyment of this commercial.

Hippo with a Toothache

I was so inspired by yesterday’s post about Orion, the poor hippo with a toothache, that I decided to make a little cartoon about the subject. Hope you like it!

Finally, my Art History degree is coming in handy for something. I know my Dad will be proud.

When Hippos Fly

You know the expression, “when pigs fly”??? As in, “Yeah, my dad will clean out his garage when pigs fly.” Well, now we can change it up to “when hippos fly.” You will not believe how silly this video is. It takes place in France – those kooky French!

Do they even have hippos in France? Here’s another one.

The Power of Hippo Poop ::or:: Can Zoo Doo Save the World?

Hippo Honcho — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 14:51:18 +0000

Zoo doo. Not the most pleasant aspect of visiting your local zoo. But could our future depend on unlocking its secrets? Researchers at Tulane University say yes. The feces of plant-eating hippos and other herbivores may just hold the secret to a renewable fuel source.

Inside that heaping, stinking, pile of dung live more than a dozen different strains of bacteria that turn plant waste into butanol, an alcohol similar to ethanol, that can be be used to fuel internal combustion engines like those used in cars. Butanol is superior to ethanol in that it “blends more easily with gasoline and can be distributed through existing pipelines, whereas ethanol has to be trucked or moved by rail across the country and blended at the last minute since ethanol-gasoline blends are sensitive to moisture,” according to an Associated Press article.

Just one more reason to love hippos!

In honor of hippo poop, I’ve included a video of said animal working hard to save our planet.
