Chris Smith of Dedham, Mass., USA, travels 24 miles to work by bicycle- although he is legally blind! Chefs need to hold a special license to prepare and serve fugu puffer fish sashimi in Tokyo because of its highly lethal neurotoxins! Cheetahs have become so genetically similar to inbreeding that each can accept transplants from any other unrelated cheetah without risk of rejection!

Has organ transplants for cheetahs ever been an issue?

Amazing with Mr. Smith there. How about two Australian cyclist brothers Lorin and Dean Nicholson going from Perth to Sydney (2480 miles)… they’re also blind, but they rode in the back of tandem bicycles.

I heard that even if pufferfish sashimi is prepared correctly, there’s still some neurotoxin left that can temporarily numb your mouth, like novocaine.

bluegirl285 you’ve got it right. Some japanese friends invited me to join them in a fugu sashimi meal. The first sign that all was not well was my numb lips, the next two days was hell getting over “just feeling rotten”. Best to leave the fugu to the natives.

Strangely enough, Massachusetts legalized medical pot a month or so ago-AND NOBODY NOTICED! Not one article in the national or international press!

I will keep this in mind the next time my cheetah needs a transplant.
