Neither can horses.  (Not that horses are typical research subjects.)  This
inability makes "colic" a real problem, and explains why a colicy horse is
an emergency medical situation that will get a veterinarian out of bed at
night to treat the potentially life-threatening situation.  Peritonitis -
the logical result of the internal "explosion" we're semi-joking about - is
most certainly not a very pleasant way to die.

Now doesn't TIPS offer all kinds of unusual information??
