Answering the real question: "The scientists tested 23 human testes, as well as 47 testes from pet dogs. They found microplastic pollution in every sample." Saved you a click.
Why were there an odd number of testes tested? In general, the come in pairs.
If they steal both, someone would notice. Steal one and replace it with a neuticle, and no one's the wiser.
Honestly, I wasn't watching when I had my vasectomy. I might be a statistic.
They messed up some of the samples and didn't include them in the data
Oh God... Were the samples... the testes? Were they just thrown out like old leftovers?
