Creative Minority Reader: "Time Passes Very Slowly When You're In a Hippo's Mouth."

Man swallowed by hippo, fights back, recounts amazing tale.

Paul Templer knew his would-be murderer. He was sort of hard to miss. After all, he was a two-ton hippopotamus. The Michigan native recounted his amazing tale in the London Guardian’s “Experience” series last week. Considering Templer was swallowed by a hippo and lived to tell about it, other stories in the series may end up failing in comparison. At the time of the swallowing, Templer was a 27-year-old river guide giving tours down the Zambezi river near Victoria Falls along the African border of Zambia and Zimbabwe.
