Martin, I need a new screen saver

What is the most dangerous animal there? What animal kills the most people? Snakes? Lions? Hippos?
Hippos
Ungainly as it is, the hippopotamus is the world's deadliest large land mammal, killing an estimated 500 people per year in Africa. Hippos are aggressive creatures, and they have very sharp teeth. And you would not want to get stuck under one; at up to 2,750kg they can crush a human to death.15 Jun 2016

Do you have hippos close to your home?
 
Celsius and now metric? @Martin people that have been to the moon use neither of those.

Well, NASA did lose the $330mm Mars Climate Orbiter after a 10 month flight because they forgot to convert from English -----> metric system when calculating the landing parameters

$330mm math conversion mistake. Ouch
