McDuck 0 #1 January 24, 2007 I'm thinking they would have been doing the animal kingdom a bit more justice in calling it Hungry, Hungry Sharkos. I mean, in a pie(or person)-eating contest, could a hippo really pull the kinds of numbers that a great white shark can? My money's on the shark. On a different note, if the game DID have sharks gobbling marbles, instead of hippos, I can imagine it wouldn't be widely marketable as "Hungry, Hungry Whiteys."

Peej 0 #4 January 24, 2007 The fish is right, Hippos kill more people annually in Africa than the rest of the Big 5 combined. The Big 5 are: lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhino. Advertisio Rodriguez / Sky Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
McDuck 0 #5 January 24, 2007 Quote(Just like fat guys like myself need loving.) Amen, brother. Fishy, while a hippo may be vicious and nasty, and possibly fast too, I'll bet I could keep myself out of hippo-harm's way easier than a shark's...like never being anywhere where hippos are known to roam wild and steal purses and such.

Slowfaller 0 #6 January 24, 2007 There was a program on Discovery where they made mechanical equivalents of a tiger shark's jaw and a hippo's jaw and tested biting force etc... IIRC the hippo was capable of doing more damage because of how wide it can open it's mouth but since the shark can maneuver through water so much better it was the winner. Pretty neat show. --"Someday you will die and somehow somethings going to steal your carbon" -MM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That was a great show based on scientific fact and reality. Discovery Channel has some great shows on it that get you to think, some that are purely entertainment and some that are actually factual. They really don't have any that is all three, even though they have tried. That doesn't mean that the 4 and 0 aren't worn off my remote, though...(Discovery is channel 40 on my cable).--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

I'm not typically floundering around in hippo-infested waters, unless there's a new saltwater breed of hippos that can remain submerged for days on end that we're not aware of. My guess is, they'd wind up being a new food source for the shark population...you know, those torpedo-shaped, wicked fast garbage men of the world's oceans?

Slowfaller 0 #10 January 24, 2007 I still think a hippo is a better marble eater than sharks. If you get a chance check out Discovery HD Theater. Love it. --"Someday you will die and somehow somethings going to steal your carbon" -MM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stumpy 284 #11 January 24, 2007 Having said that, i am reasonably certain the hippo might have a slight advantage on land Never try to eat more than you can lift Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
popsjumper 2 #12 January 24, 2007 Funny you sould mention Hungry Hippos... Got the game for my young son and told him, "The object of the game is to eat all the marbles you can." Ready, set, GO! He reached in with both hands and grabbed marbles...luckily I was able to stop him before he put them in his mouth. Be careful what you say to youngsters. My reality and yours are quite different.
