      IIRC Abraham Lincoln was buff as hell when he was young and wrestled for fun. One time a political arguement with him broke out on a street and he got so heated he ripped his shirt off and offered to wrestle his opponent. He took the offer and Abe kicked his ass. A large crowd had gathered and when he was done he looked at the crowd and asked if any of them wanted a go. They did not.
      Now, that story may be fake because I refuse to fact check it. I want to live in a world where Honest Abe ripped his shirt off and said "come at me bro" and "anybody else want some of this!"

    Shrews are weirdly resistant to a lot of stuff. There is a variety called Tupaia Belangeri that is immune to alcohol. It doesn't display any sign of drunkenness, researchers even fed some exclusively on beer and they display zero issue. It also has almost no rods in it's retina, meaning it has excellent color vision but weirdly it doesn't seem to have any defects in contrast or movement detection. Very interesting animal.

    I didn't even question the spine part and thought “Oh mushroom spine? A new fact learned. Thanks fact fiend”
    So... Today i learned about a furry little animal you “can” stand on (you shouldn't tho) and I learned that mushrooms DON'T have a spine.
