I said earlier this was going to have a few different answers.

IDK, I'm finding several sites that claim that Hippos kill more people than any other animal.

Hippos kill more people than any other wild animal, even lions and tigers - or sharks. Even crocodiles kill more people than sharks. The reptile that kills most people is the snake.
With out indepth research and counting numbers, this question may not have a definate answer.

But they don't give facts, just opinions. so far i have found that snakes kill 50-125K people a year worldwide. I very much doubt hippos even meet that many people.

Alright here is one.....

In the 1968 Movie "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang"
For the film version, a number of cars were created, including a fully functional road going car. It was designed by Rowland Emmett and Ken Adam and built by Alan Mann racing in Hertfordshire in 1967. It was allocated a genuine UK registration.

What engine was used as the power plant in this car?

Lee your the judge of this one since it's your question, Kobi's answer sounds as good to me as any.

everybody knows.....A woodchuck would chuck as much wood as a woodchuck could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood.

But i'll take Kobi's answer so now the next question will now be an interesting one.

Growing up in England, I have seen this movie many times and this is a common movie watched by most people over there. i still searched for it but i had an idea it was a ford engine from a current car model at the time of filming.

No, actually it would look more like Cool Whip, as evidenced by the correct answer below:
