I love this bit from the description:

While currently located within the Princeton Public School district, the municipality where the house is moved will determine where students will attend public schools.

As if some people may assume the school zoning would follow the physical house where ever it gets relocated. It's one of those lines that gets added to the description because someone asked that question in the past.

Actually it's because we have sweat glands all over our bodies, which I think is unique among animals. Dog, for example, can only dump excess heat by heavier panting, whereas humans will just sweat more.

Some of us have more and more puissant sweat glands than others.

The human superpowers are basically throwing fastballs and jogging in hot weather. The ancestral hunting strategy is basically to throw stuff at the animals to get them to run, then jog after them. Repeat until the animal is too tired to move.
