Random fact for the day

Naked Mole Rats lack Substance P, a neuropeptide involved in some kinds of pain - including that caused by eating hot chillies. As a result, when Naked Mole Rats eat chillies, they feel no pain!

Look at him - look right into those tiny little beady eyes. You can just tell that he's thinking about eating chilli right now!
