I'm not an MD but Googles says:While hyperplastic polyps are similar to sessile serrated adenomas, and other adenomas the research shows that the adenoma is clearly considered a precancerous colon polyp, whereas the hyperplastic polyp is considered to be benign, rarely progressing to colorectal cancer.
and:Neoplastic polyps of the bowel are often benign hence called adenomas. An adenoma is a tumor of glandular tissue, that has not (yet) gained the properties of a cancer. The common adenomas of the colon (colorectal adenoma) are the tubular, tubulovillous, villous, and sessile serrated (SSA)
Longer Answer : You have some descriptive terms which encompass a series a features found on microscopic inspection of your tissue samples, hence a classification/category is reached. In the case of colonic lining these imply a narrative about future behaviour. In a true biological sense cells, or groups of cells, do not instantaneously become malignant. There is a gradation of changes over time ( typically many years ) so if viewed entirely you have a spectrum from normal through to aggressive cancer, and we have labels for regions of that spectrum. For a particular group of cells undergoing change we may intercept at some time, and hence at some point, in that progression. It is not necessarily true that all deviations from normal will eventually become cancerous.
Now POLYP = "a thickening of a lining", so that word per se has no implication of future behaviour or risk to health. It just means there is a thick bit, and as such these are noticed during inspection and tend to be removed. You have to get the microscope out and look closely at it to make further comment.
In any case they have been removed, and at an early stage and small size. What this does definitely prove is that you are a polyp producer and so ought have surveillance to see what may pop up in future. You are now 'convicted' to undergo colonoscopies on some schedule from now on. So the question is when to advise the next colonoscopy. If this is your first 'crop' then it is likely another procedure in 12 months will be recommended. But there are many recall schemes ie. when do you come back next given what diagnosis, and so your doctor may say something different ( but it won't be radically different ).

Sailplane = glider. They get towed aloft then have to search for thermals and rising air currents or down they go. Why not have hyrids as yachts do? They have sails but also an auxiliary engine as a back up and for manoeuvring in harbour, and in-shore. Maybe the weight of an engine would preclude that?
Waiting for Godot & salvation :-)

You'd think they'd have got it right by now

They do. Small jet turbines are often used. Then there's this guy :
The prerequisites for this are to be ( in order of importance ) :
- crazy
- insane
- psychotic
- mentally unhinged
- rich
- fit
- have some aeronautical experience. Maybe even with jets, wings & stuff
So all in all, the perfect hobby for ex-fighter pilots. :-)

Then you pop the chute ! It's in the carbon-fibre behind his thorax. That's what he usually does at the end of a flight ie. runs out of fuel. Typically he is taken aloft to height in a helicopter, which he then jumps from. Here's a piece of epic footage over Dubai with an Airbus A380.
Cheers, Mike.

1. COLON, RANDOM BIOPSIES: -
I assume this all translates to nothing to worry about, but I suppose I'll have to schedule a followup appointment with the dr. to be told that.

OK, I really didn't know that :-)
How about certifiable nutcase? Engines fail and he's a dead man walking, or more accurately gliding/plummeting.
