Prof. Hippo teaches 'Expenses 101'...

Professor Hippo doesn't like it when people misbehave. He especially doesn't like it when naughty MPs claim for things they shouldn't, like mortgages that don't exist, duck houses, porn, and church donations. That's very naughty indeed and just as ludicrous as trying to claim money for the time it took to look at the above cartoon, or claiming for a computer so you can check out this cartoon. In Prof. Hippo's school, such a transgression is punishable by a severe caning and writing out 'I must not be a slimy money-grabbing cheat' ten thousand times. If this happened in Parliament maybe MPs wouldn't be so quick to claim for items they shouldn't...

Introducing Professor Hippo...

If the 'Piggy Sniffles' scare taught us anything it's that there's a lot of bullshit in the world today, and it's difficult to know what to trust and who to listen to when everyone's EXPRESSING THEIR OPINION VERY LOUDLY. So what do you do? Listen to Professor Hippo, that's who.

Here he is...

Whenever there's a lot of bullshit flying around, or a news story that you want to get to the bottom of and receive just the facts, Prof. Hippo will be here with his chalkboard, pointer and Masters Degree from the University of Cuttin' through the Crap to give you just the facts. Prof. Hippo was originally a cartoon I drew for someone, but I thought it was time that he appeared to give us all just the facts on his 'Bullshit-free Blackboard'. Now, I know what you're thinking: 'Shouldn't it be a bull in front of that board?'. No, of course not. Bulls are untrustworthy. Where do you think the phrase 'bullshit' comes from? So, the next time you need the facts on a subject, come to Prof. Hippo. And if there's a story, myth or subject you want Prof. Hippo to cover, then let him know in the Comments section below or leave him a note in his pigeonhole outside he office.

Class dismissed!
