ummm, Ofcapri, i don't think it's real--
without even going back to Snopes to check it out, this sentence tells me it's not:
"lending credence to the notion that "Hippo Eats Dwarf" was a creditable news story"

I'll wait until the hippo has a bowel movement to pass judgement.

A circus dwarf, nicknamed Od, died recently in the North when he bounced sideways from a trampoline and was swallowed by a yawning hippopotamus which was waiting to appear in the next act. Vets on the scene said Hilda the Hippo had a gag reflex which automatically caused her to swallow. They added in mitigation that the hefty creature was a vegetarian who had not previously digested a circus performer. Unfortunately, the 1000 plus spectators continued to applaud wildly until common sense dictated there had been a tragic mistake. Police said the trampoline has been sent for forensic analysis.
