I'm not really knowledgeable about animals... is that just some genetic defect? Or do sheep regularly die in the wild from having way too much wool?

Or have we actually bred them to be reliant on shearers?

Yes on that last one. http://modernfarmer.com/2013/07/will-sheep/

What other animals are at the intersection of Funny Looking and Incredibly Dangerous like moose?

I don't know that they're incredibly dangerous - they won't come looking for you like a bear or mountain lion, so just don't pick one up and you're golden - but the venom of the male duck-billed platypus can cause nonlethal but excruciating pain that lasts for months and is unresponsive to morphine.

Definitely approaching the FLID nexus from the Funny-looking side though

Almost better that they died.

There was an incident at a local mushroom farm where the fumes of hydrogen sulphide overtook several people. A few of them died, but some of those that went to rescue them lived, but were profoundly brain damaged afterword. A loving nightmare if there is any flicker of thought in their mind that somewhere in their cloudy past they used to be not like this.

Yeah H2S courses really stress the whole thing about not running in blindly to save someone without PPE if you're working somewhere with H2S, because it's far more likely you're going to go down as well, then the next rescuer has to save two people

America's second most famous president was killed by a well-known actor, like if Clint Eastwood had shot Obama instead of having a shower argument with him. Napoleon was captured, imprisoned, escaped from prison, retook power, and had to be beaten and caught again. From his escape to his defeat all happened in a little over four months. It's a weird fuckin planet.

I read Lincoln’s assassination as compared to if Liam Hemsworth assassinated Obama during a film screening while shouting “I went for the head!”, followed by Chris Hemsworth having to do a press release disavowing any part in it.

Now that I think about it, the Baldwins work too, considering Alec and Stephen's politics. (Alec serves as Edwin Booth here.) Stephen Baldwin isn't as well known as John Wilkes was, I think, but a perfect parallel is probably not going to exist.

Especially because Alec Baldwin never saved Malia Obama from being flung under a train. Which Edwin Booth did do for Robert Lincoln, not knowing who he was of course.

I can't even comment on what kind of circumstances would lead to Tucker Carlson interviewing Fabio. What I do know is that golden-haired bastard hit a goose with his face on a rollercoaster and walked away with little more than a bloody nose. And though it happened 20 years ago, today I learned for the first time that a. it was on the first drop of a 73 mph hill, and b. THE GOOSE DIED.

So at least one of these people have a skull that's bone all the way through.

Sanders is drawing on a 2017 report from the left-leaning Institute for Policy Studies, which said that three billionaires — Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos (who owns The Washington Post) and Warren Buffett — had total wealth of $248.5 billion, compared with $245 billion for the bottom 160 million people in the United States. The wealth of the three men has grown even more since then.

But people in the bottom half have essentially no wealth, as debts cancel out whatever assets they might have.
