Google can't be wrong, can it?

This make it look as if it is the *hippos* that are, in
fact, in danger of being crushed by a falling cygwin!
Which raises the question... what is a cygwin, and why would it
be interested in crushing a hippo? I mean, I know what a cygnet
is, so I'm guessing that a cygwin must be related somehow. But
I can't see a hippo (not even a dwarf hippo) being threatened by
a young swan, no matter how fast it's falling. I mean, it would
have to be moving at an... unnatural... speed for it to be threat!
Oh... OH! It's obvious now... so obvious...
Cygwin's are GIANT CYBERNETIC ALIEN SPACE-SWANS!
Moving at relativistic speeds from the vicinity of 70 Ophiuchi,
they are even now coming... coming... COMING FOR OUR HIPPOS!
Ahem.
Aside from that, it's interesting - but not suprising - that
South Africa has about the same incidence of searches for "hippo"
and "cygwin".
*blinks*
Though apparently, the top language search for "hippo" is Finnish...
Wow. This is like a free-association conspiracy theory generator.
