Did you know that a caduceus (the medical symbol snake stick thingy) is a symbol of medicine because it's a staff carried by Hermes? DEAD WRONG.
Guinea worms are parasites that could grow up to 2 feet long that live in ponds, if you drink guinea worm infested water they will slither down your throat to your stomach and make their way to your legs and lay eggs there, the baby guineas don't set off any alarms however they do cause rashes that make you want to run screaming into the nearest pond which repeats the cycle as they pop out of the blisters on your legs and so on xD
Basically the procedure to remove them is to pull them out of your legs. Simple right? Not really. The way they did it in the olden days, you gotta pull them out reaaal slowly or else they'll break off and part of it will rot in your leg and cause a infection and normally the patient dies from it. They would pull out a small part of it and wrap it around a stick and reel it out of your leg slowly bit by bit, it takes a week for it to get out (yes 7 days) It may not be the best 7 days of your life but at least your body would be healthy! So why is it a symbol of medicine? Well this was probably the first successful surgery of the olden days so it became the symbol of medicine, plus people were probably so proud they kept the snake on a sticks as a momento saying that they could perform the surgery successfully. Ew I know.
So don't believe all that crap about Hermes, it's all about the guinea worms! xD

The hyena is like that "woman" at the bar with an Adam's Apple, who asks you to call her Steve and does things to you in the bathroom that you'll never speak of to anyone ever again.
An alpha female in the hyena world passes on a super dose of hormones to its young that makes them extra aggressive, which increases their chances of survival. The downside is that all these extra hormones make mom awfully manish and since hyenas can't have man hands, they get the next best thing: a giant clitoris. A giant, 7-inch clitoris that just sticks out making people on safari feel shamed and emasculated.
Weird as that is, the further downside for the hyena here is that the birth canal is inside that giant clitoris, so in effect, the female has to give birth through a penis. This also means the male has to make sweet, awkward, hit-and-miss love to one, which can apparently take months of practice until he can line everything up right. Once the magical moment happens, she pushes him off and puts a cigarette out on his thigh. -
