And, while I'm putting up links that I've recently talked to people about,
- Final Fantasy (so now you can listen to what I've poorly described to you)
- A Year Full of Kick-Ass Movie Pitches (Including "FINDING NEMO but with toys")
- A plea for megagaltastic (trying to fill a vocabulary gap)

First off, I can't explain that. But, I need a written record for refunds, so please feel free to write me a letter so I can file, refile and then misfile it.
Second, Hippos kick ass:
- Hippos average 3.5 metres (11 ft) long, 1.5 m (5 ft) tall at the shoulder, and weigh from 1500 kg to 3200 kg (3,300 to 7,000 lb).
- There are estimates of their running speed varying from 30 km/h (18 mph) to 40 km/h (25 mph), or even 50 km/h (30 mph)
- Their canine teeth are half a meter long
- The male hippo uses its head as a battering ram, especially against rival males while fighting over territory
- They kill crocodiles and lions, and are even responsible for more human deaths than any other African animal
- The process of surfacing and breathing is automatic, and even a hippo sleeping underwater will rise and breathe without waking
- Hippos seem to empathise with the prey of crocodiles and have been known to stand guard over dead and dying antelope on river banks
- Hippos seem to be aware of the presence of large bodies of water from some distance away

He may have had a moment of weakness, Al. Show him what weakness means on the field of battle and grind his ashes into dust. For the Emperor!
Don't do that. Leave an open bottle of honey in his bags, exchange all his black/blue pens with green/purple/red refills, and leave chewed gum underneath his desktop. Oh, don't forget to coat his car handle with cement glue and leave a visible bottle of nail remover just out of reach.
No...don't do that. Be chummy with other co-workers in his presence, take calls when he asks for your attention, ask "so what?" after each point he makes to you, and suggest he should find a new bag....
Just leave him alone, he's too shifty to even think of.
Weeeeeeeeeeeeee

You know whats weird, their was this machinist who when I first got there treaed me like I was an idiot. He didn't think I was in the engineering department. Now almost a year later he is a CNC programmer (still in training) and when I met him agian he was all smiles and stuff. What fakeness when he thought I was a nobody he treated me like dirt, when he finds out I'm his boss I'm now his buddy? Man what the hell is up with people?
