Late-Nighter Duex - Wednesday night 9PM (after a full day), 7 of us, until 2AM Thursday morning. Most of us in by 7 yesterday. I don't think we could keep the coffee pot filled!

What about the Hyperpotamus? A hippo after drinking a LOT of coffee? (or tea.)

Shouldn't it be a raging torrent? Contrary to folk etymology for Hippopotamus, Greek potamos doesn't mean water", it means stream or river or flood.

edit: the words "folk etymology" got lost somewhere
