A man in a 14-stone hippo suit sinking in mud is no laughing matter (honest)
This story greatly cheered my Sunday up:
"A scientist has gone undercover in a 14-stone armoured hippopotamus suit in Zambia to mingle unremarked with pods of the feared mammals.
Dr Brady Barr, who returned from his mission last week, adopted the disguise in an attempt to harvest sweat samples from hippos in the quest for a new type of sun cream."
The whole article is a work of genius, and must be read in its entirety. Shame it doesn't have a happy ending:
His mission failed but, Barr said, “we shall be going back to Africa as soon as we can”.
I think the word is "Indomitable".
