What animal was delivered to Ireland by federal express?

Answer 1

You know, I think I have a potentially accurate line on a potentially accurate answer for you.

Quoting from various sources, I find:

In 2002, FedEx did in fact ship a female hippo from Switzerland to Ireland.

FedEx shipped a hippo to Ireland in 2002.

There are a couple of reasons I am qualifying my answer, however. These are they:

• I found the answer, in forms either identical or very similar to those abovequoted, on more than several websites, more than several of these being a bit dubious. In fact, the one I have, indeed, abovequoted seems to be one of the more reliable, although it has no relation whatsoever to Fedex, Ireland, Switzerland, hippopotami, or animals of any type. It is, instead, a website devoted to All Things Metal [& I don't mean elementally]. It's one of the virtual places where one stops along life's Information Hershey Highway when one wants to know the difference among, say, Death Metal, Melodic Death Metal, Brutal Death Metal, Technical Death Metal, Technical Brutal Death Metal, Depressive Black Metal, and Suicidal Black Metal. Et al. You laugh, maybe, but if you read yr correspondent, here's WikiAnswers bio page you will glean that yr correspondent, here, knows quite a bit more about these things than it might seem at first read. Trust me.

• Secondly, the question What animal did Fedex ship to Ireland? seems to be some sort of internet memejoke. Some variation on the dancing Mr. Astley, whether done for the LOLs or the LULZ, i know not.

So there is yr answer. Whether for good or ill is up to you.
