Logged in this morning, and did my usual run of hotkeys to activate settings that SL stubbornly refuses to remember for me, like turning off clouds and fog, etc.

But in my sleep deprived and sugar-buzzed state, I accidently hit SHIFT-CTRL-ALT-H twice, causing SecondLife to print the word "hippos!" in the chat window.

So, I tried it again. Sure enough, every time, it says "hippos!". The text is the same color as friend online/offline notifications...

What is "hippos!"??? Anybody know why that's there?

Ah, now it all makes sense. I was wondering why I kept seeing hippo sculptures at infohubs.

Wow, that's pretty cool, haha. I tried sharing my new-found hotkey with my teenage daughter who has an account on the Teen Grid, who responded with something like "Duh, Dad, I've known about that for months". Go figure.

Well this is new to me. Surely there must be a way I can use this new found knowledge to annoy my family into frenzy.
