Transcript:
British surveyors have discovered a chain of 12 previously unknown undersea volcanoes off the coast of Antarctica, with a few coming within 225 feet of the surface! Tragic coincidence! On July 3, 2011, Stephen Rooney of Hammonton, NJ, USA, was killed by a lightning strike shortly after saying, don't worry, lightning never strikes twice, a reference to his father being killed and killed by lightning 48 years earlier! Incisor teeth of naked mole rats are on the outside of their lips, and they can move the teeth independently like chopsticks!

Could be why those moles tear up the yard and then come back an hour later to do it again

I wonder if Mr. Rooney was taking no precautions against lightning strikes, thinking it couldn’t happen to him.…Today’s “Basic Instructions” says the naked mole rat is probably the most pathetic animal. I disagree.

There’s a lesson to be learned here, especially if Stephen Rooney has a son.

I like the Beatles’ version of the song ‘Chains’. They were told by record companies, they’d never make it. When they started to become popular, people said they wouldn’t last a month. So that’s wishful thinking then.
