statement

An Austrian circus dwarf died recently
when he bounced sideways from a trampoline
and was swallowed by a hippopotamus.

Seven thousand people watched as little
Franz Dasch popped into the mouth of
Hilda the Hippo and the animal's gag reflex
forced it to swallow.

The crowd applauded wildly before other
circus people realized what had happened.
