Double take

Hippopup_1At first glance, it's really hard to see the lil' Hippo pup. Then you're all: "Aie!!! Holy Mother to Baby Nostril Ratio!1!"

Snorting, watery props to Wayne H. ;)

Hammy
 |  Apr 17, 2006 at 03:10 PM

Awwwwwww, a hippo-pigglet and its momma! The baby is so tiny, and its pink ears are just too cute.

The baby looks like she's dog paddling like *crazy.* Or would that be hippaddling?

Just a reminder hippos kill kill people. They have been known to capsize boats Not sure why. Sure the little on is keee-ute with a capitol keee, but momma is a bit luny with a huge mouth. I know they have huge tusk things but the breath will kill you.

Awwwwwwww. Poor wittle baby looks completely freaked out! Looks as if s/he's screaming, "SOMEBODY HELP ME, I THINK I'M DROWNING!

Cuteness, in a hippo kind of way.

Wendy
 |  Apr 17, 2006 at 03:54 PM

Awww! It's like mommy is coaching baby to swim, telling her baby "you are doing great!" Kinda like a parent with their child when they are riding a bike for the first time.

Please excuse the lack of accents in my French. :)

oh my god, this picture is so awesome. Mommy hippo can eat a whole boatful of tourists before the good karma of producing a baby that cute wears off.

AIEEEEEEEEE!!! Lil' baby hippie!!!!

*gets into the pond to snorgle, only to realise it isn't a pond, but mama's mouth*

The mother's nostrils and baby's ears are remarkably well-mirrored. Look about the same size too.

Jes: Je roule sur le plancher tout en riant.

(If it weren't for Babelfish, I'd be sunk.)

Hashi Marmalade -- BabelFish makes total hash out of that. You should try it.

The baby looks like he's saying "OHMYGOSH THIS WATER IS **COLD!**"

...and speaking of (unrelated) double-takes:

"Mister Sandman, bring me a dream
"Make him the cutest hippo I've ever seen..."

Theo
 |  Apr 18, 2006 at 06:08 PM

Theo- "I am not certain if my name means that I appreciate my rodent of pet, or roast pig."

Is that what it means?

Hammy
 |  Apr 18, 2006 at 06:10 PM

Yep, that's the half-magic of Altavista Babelfish. I used to spend hours translating and un-translating nursery rhymes, just to see how butchered & funny they turned out. Imagine if the U.N. had to depend on BabelFish to function...

Theo
 |  Apr 18, 2006 at 06:14 PM

sadie-asher- No I do not speak, or understand any french!

Hammy
 |  Apr 18, 2006 at 06:15 PM

Theo-Thank you Theo!!!! You have really weird things to say dude!!!!

Hammy
 |  Apr 18, 2006 at 06:16 PM

ahah! this one is great!!je préfêre le premier ;-)!!
très mignon (la différence de taille est incroyable!!)

sarah
 |  Apr 27, 2006 at 10:47 PM

Aww..! It's so adorable... Eh, it can kill people and other animals all it wants. It's cute now, so it can live forever, being known as that "cute little thing" even when it eats people. (I'm VERY tired.)
