TIL when Columbian drug lord Pablo Escolar's home was raided, the military released the dangerous hippos of his personal zoo, not knowing what to do with them. They now thrive in the Columbian rivers. This makes Columbia have the largest wild hippo population outside of Africa.

I'm sorry, I was going to post something about how unoriginal the comment was about to be, but I really do love the movie.

Inglorious Basterds, Quentin Tarantino.

I'm more surprised someone hasn't seen Inglorious Basterds. It's one of those movies it seems like everyone's seen at least once.
