@11. Sharku Says:

@fluffy: hippopotamus is a contraction of the ancient Greek words hippo (horse) and potamos (river) which together make riverhorse, so a hippo by itself is just a horse.

But, .. but .. but, I thought *Eridanus* was the Greek word for “river” – as in the constellation?

This reminds me of that movie Fantasic Voyage, the seen where they go thro the brain and thoughts are protryed as electric flashes. This must be the meaning of “flash of insight” and “That Idea came to me in a flash” Off topic : The new Tron movie is great, if you loved the frist you will like this one.

Funny, I honestly saw a spider-monkey swinging through some trees. Took me a minute to realize I was supposed to be seeing Rudolph.

Wow, that looks just like the Norse god Njörðr, guardian of fisherman and father of Freya.

You don’t see that everyday.

,,,and Santa said, “Rudolph, get out of that kids head,,,and don’t poop,,,”.

So, do people who see Mary in a pizza have a Virgin in their heads?

For the record, his head is shaped like a Dorito with a bite taken out of it. Make of that what you will.

I only figured this out by reading the comments. Merry Christmas to y’all – now to set up the new blu-ray player and watch the 3-hour cut of Avatar with the aid of a surround sound system…

What, to my wondering eyes, should appear but a miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer.

Aahhh, never would have guessed that ~20 years later my classical education’s main purpose would be to be able to be a smart Aleck on teh intartubes.

@Fluffy: A hippopotamus is a river horse. Hippo: Horse, Potamus: River.

Hippocampuses make for pretty weak dock guardians in the game Age of Mythology, though they do respawn fairly quickly.

Lol, that’s awesome. I love brain deer. Even brain deer with red noses.

To me that is obvious and conclusive proof that we should all be worshipping Santa. Excuse me while I go and do that now.

“I always pictured him as somewhat bigger. ”

So size does matter?

Silly, a hippo is a river horse, not a brain horse.
