From wikipedia:

To mark territory, hippos spin their tails while defecating to distribute their excrement over the greatest possible area. Hippos also urinate backwards (are retromingent), likely for the same reason.

Oh and this happened.

    Well I’m torn. I find Bob’s blog almost intolerable if you are not there cracking wise and verbally pillorying the weak-minded, but I also look forward to new posts on this blog.

    Color me difficult, eh?

    Anyway, you get full credit for the fact that I am the only person I know who is familiar with the word ‘retromingent’ and the grotesque fact that hippos sometimes get their carnivore on. That video caused a flashback to the day I saw a squirrel eating a house sparrow. Yeah. You thought they were vegetarians too, right.

    It’s a crazy world.
    Someone oughta sell tickets.

    (If you can tell me the name of the movie I just referenced I will give you the 4 piece Grabit Pro Screw Extractor set. Think hard, Travis. You know you want it.)

    Sorry, I’m not doing too well anymore. Hence no content.

    Not doing too well…? Travis. Don’t worry me. In spite of my intergalactic bounty-hunter persona I am a fretter extraordinaire. Must be my Southern DNA. I even carry a lace handkerchief in my armor to pat my brow when I feel an attack of the vapors threatening.

    But seriously…try to be well. Jedi mind-trick yourself or something. If I could I would bombard you with LOL cat photos and Daft Punk videos. It’s almost impossible not to feel like a superhero when ‘Superheroes’ is playing.

    Take care, Travis.
    And…if I may humbly request…please don’t disappear completely.
