I (distantly) knew someone who was cutting grass on an incline adjacent to a pond. The lawnmower flipped, and it pinned him in the pond. He drowned in a foot of water and was sober.

People misjudge things all the time. I would guess it was a combination of distraction and/or non-ideal terrain (slope, dropoff, or combination).

Franklin might have won the prize, had she not died 4 years before the prize was awarded. Rules forbid the Nobel being awarded to the deceased.

The penguins under car is at a blue penguin colony in Oamaru, New Zealand. Visited there in March. Might not be that exact format.

Walk-in coolers/freezers are giant Faraday cages. Can't get wireless in or out. Any camera would definitely need to be hardwired.

It's rampant click bait. I try not to reward the behavior with clicks, but sometimes I'm genuinely interested in the topic. This is not one of those times.
