The Baby Hippo Test
Feb. 11th, 2004 09:24 amJoeyHemlock's Quick-and-Easy Guide to Determining if You're a Human or an Alien.
1. Get all worked up about something. Be not-your-best. Feel sad or mad.
2. Look at a picture of a baby hippopotamus, such as the one below, while saying "baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaby hippo":

3. Do you feel at least a little better? If not, you are an alien. Or possibly a robot. Or maybe a Republican*.
*The Republican thing was an attempt at humor, playing off of the stereotype that Republicans are all cold and heartless bastards. This is NOT, in fact, the case. Many Republicans are caring human beings who just have a different political ideology than those of the liberal persuasion. Many Republicans are, in fact, damn fine people. Ann Coulter, however, is a raging lunatic. <singing>The more you know!</singing>
Also, I left my e-mail client on at home, so any e-mail you happen to send me is being acquired before I can read it. Oops.
