This is just all gold. Stop everything now and read about hippos.
I have been doing entirely too much earnest posting about deep things recently, I need to do a proper thread about hippo testicles or something just to keep myself sane.
Oh by the way hippos have migratory testicles.

Postoperative sore throat has an incidence of up to 62%.
The current literature lacks high-quality randomised controlled trials on treatments that prevent a complication that is of importance to patients and their recovery.
