A white rhino weighing 2 tons can run faster than Usain Bolt! In 1970, Alan Fish was killed when Manny Mota hit a baseball into the crowd at Dodger Stadium in LA- the only person ever to have been killed by a ball hit into the stands, even though an average of 30 such balls are hit in each Major League game. The Mount Lyell salamander of the USA is able to curl itself up into a ball and roll down hills to escape predators, absorbing bumps like a tire.

How, pray tell, did Mr. Fish, who was in the stands, get killed by a ball: concussion?

A lot of animals can run faster than humans. Even alligators can, despite their short legs.

If I had a head injury, I wouldn’t take aspirin for it. It thins the blood. Tylenol would be better, plus a quick trip to the ER for a CAT scan.

Fortunately, no white rhinos in western Illinois!But we’re overloaded with deer, but they usually run away.(Only a car can get them. We have three deer hunting seasons, Bow & arrow, shotgun, motor vehicle!)

When I was nine or ten, I went to a hockey game. The puck flew into the crowd, right towards me and I ducked. The puck hit the woman behind me, right in the knee. I felt a strange sense of guilt after that, like it was my fault that the woman got injured.

Usain Bolt once threw a balled-up salamander hard enough to kill someone on the White Rhinos baseball team.
