10/31/2006: "Hippo ATE MY SOUL!"

Song of the Day: Suzanne Palmer - Home

Today I received an email forward of scans of newspaper articles that featured crazy stories. One of these stories was about a circus dwarf who bounced off a trampoline and into a hippo's open mouth, only to be swallowed and killed by the poor hippo. The audience reportedly applauded until they realized it was a tragic mistake.

My first reaction? I burst out laughing. Loudly. And then I realized I was gleefully laughing at someone's death. Dammit, those scary far-far-right-wingers are RIGHT; reading Harry Potter is making me evil.

I hung my head in shame, and then headed over to Snopes to try to absolve myself. Sure enough, it's just a little too strange to be true.

So now, I've only laughed at a hypothetical dwarf being eaten by an imaginary hippo. Surely being eaten by an imaginary hippo can't hurt that badly. The only way to explain my good fortune is to figure it's because the final Harry Potter book isn't out yet. Once I read that one, I'll be fully evil, and everyone I laugh at will immediately suffer some freakish accident.

Bwahahahahaha. Happy Halloween, ya'll.

The first thing I did was laugh. I'm right there with you. Then again, I laugh when people die in movies like Final Destination. I'm a bad bad person.

I mostly laugh when people die in movies at the hands of Kate Beckinsale.

God, she's hot, but she couldn't kill a fly.
