The most useless creature keeps you entertained.

Anyone who knows me, knows I am the worst morning person in the world. And when you combine the worst morning person in the world with a lack of sleep, then you have a real problem.

Anyways, one of the best ways I found to keep myself awake during early morning classes is drawing. I can't draw worth anything as your about to see, but that's ok, it still works. What I find most amusing, is that what I'm drawing over and over again, is the most useless creature ever created. That creature is the Grape Hippo. The only creature in the history of man to ever be denoted as "epic beyond human comprehension".


Grape Hippo - A legendary creature of myths and fables. It does absolutely nothing but drool and get eaten by birds when it's out in the open. The Grape Hippo stays hydrated by drooling in unimaginable amounts, only possible due to its incredible amount of saliva glands hidden in it's empty, useless, grape-like body. It obtains food by standing in the sunlight, using it's grape-like bubbles to perform photosynthesis several thousand times faster than a plant or tree. This accelerated-photosynthesis also creates food for other animals (mostly the birds you can see on the hippo or eating the hippo). The Grape Hippo's stem-like tail allows the creature to absorb water, or, mostly re-use its own drool, creating a never-ending puddle of nourishment.

Animal Rights Activists and vegetarians should have no trouble finding this creature a tasty treat due to the following (respectively):
  1. The Grape Hippo does not care or have any feelings towards its untimely death.
  2. Due to it's photosynthesis and sap-like drool, it's pretty much a tree that looks like a hippo, except covered in grapes.
I have rated the Grape Hippo using my own customized food rating system


Overall, I give the Grape Hippo a stunning 10/10. Easy to eat, easy to catch, and best of all, tastes great.


Back to the topic at hand, this is what I wind up doing during days where I'm extremely tired.
For some incomprehensible reason, unbeknown'gst to me, I draw the most useless creature ever created when I'm bored. As you can see, I try to obtain as many forms of the Grape Hippo as possible. We have "side profile", "killed you dead with arrow", "collapsing under it's own weight", and in the lower left, "person". This epic creature is somehow captivating and alluring, despite its completely useless nature. Oh and btw, please be careful of the the following quote people throw around carelessly not knowing what their saying about another person.
"You are what you eat" :)
