So, after a very productive, optimistic and reassuring thesis meeting yesterday, and a day spent reading World War Z (Brooks' bit on North Korea best surviving the zombie war is spot on, and the visual of a swarm of zombies eating a whale will now haunt my dreams forever. Thanks man) and swimming at Kits beach, life has been pretty awesome of late, true believers! Enough so that, in lieu of a lot of pseudo-compelling diatribe-y bits or lame-but-hopefully-endearing witticisms, I'm just going to jump straight into some facts.
"FactS, you say?!" you exclaim? Hopefully with a dash of Doc Brown panache, for good measure.
Yes factS. As in plural. As in I love you enough to make up for having not blogged yesterday. Also, because I was fortunate enough to come across two whimsical facts in one day. There you have it.

And...
#26: A hippo once swallowed a dwarf. Accidentally. While yawning. In a circus.

There you have it. Thanks to Buzzfeed for that one. Also, you should check out their feature on hippos in general. It is hilarious, and does justice to the insanely homicidal capabilities of hippos - the most adorably ferocious animals on the planet.
But, as the article is careful to stress, they are extremely cute as babies. Observe - Exhibit A:
Now, off to wash all of the ocean scum, salt, accursed sand and seaweed strands from my happy, swim-tired body, then join the lady for risotto and a completely uncoincidental zombie movie marathon. Ta ta!
