What's up with the "subscribe to read the rest of this article"?  Beyond
the title, I can only guess that 'hipporoo' is not mentioned until part of
the 2274 words not visible beyond the first 150 displayed...

  Yeh, but it's a hippo AND it's a kangeroo[*].  That's got to be cool.

  What, is your imagination so poor that you need to actually /see/ a hipporoo
in order to believe?  Oh ye of little faith!

I did not notice hipporoo mentioned anywhere apart from the title when I 
read the article this morning but that is not saying much - I missed the 
whole article on my first pass through the magazine.

  I missed the whole article on my first pass through the newsagent, but I'll
try and read it next time.

  Ah, hooray for big newsagents chains where you can stand around and read
half the magazine before anyone even notices.  What with all the government
cuts over the last couple of decades our public libraries aren't what they
used to be, but at least WHSmiths can fill the gap....
