A container used in the transport of the large animal known as a hippopotamus (not to be confused with an elephant). These hippos are prone to anger and violence, most likely due to their confinement, so the hippocrate must be very sturdy and secure. A variation of the hippocrate appears in the documentary Jurassic Park, but is used to convey velociraptors.
The Philadelphia Zoo went into lockdown when it was discovered that their latest shipment of hippocrates was one hippocrate short.

In the early 21st century, large corporations in America outsourced their employee services to any company across the planet - as long as they provided the lowest possible cost for performing these services. To minimize liability, it was common practice for a corporation to approve a list of simple questions and replies that were allowed to be provided by the outsourced service center. This practice resulted in widespread discontent and dissatisfaction among corporate employees since the employee services could accommodate only a small percentage of problems. Workers at these telephone service centers became know as listocrats.
