Can’t do it with a hippopotamus but for our pets we just weigh ourselves and then weigh ourselves again holding our pet.

And then do math.

The only problem with that method is weighing myself first.

I like how the baby Koala looks exactly like an adult Koala, but smaller.

Don’t a lot of babies look like Winston Churchill?

It’s easier if you do it in the other order (you+pet, then just you) - the shock, disappointment, and remorse don’t appear until the end of the process.

If you can weigh elephants you can weigh hippotamapodes.

That’s some sage advice.

Sorting shopping search results by price high-to-low means it gets less depressing, not more.

Are they weighing the elephants to know whether it’s safe for them to take the Schwebebahn?

Elephants are banned from the Schwebebahn; they don’t want them smashing up another one.

Hey, baby -

THE ELEPHANT by Ogden Nash

Elephants are useful friends,

Equipped with handles at both ends,

They have a wrinkled moth proof hide,

Their teeth are upside down, outside,

If you think the elephant preposterous,

You’ve probably never seen a rhinosterous.
