In 1873, 15-year-old Chester Greenwood of Farmington, Maine, invented the first earmuffs! Slow poke! The top speed of a sloth is 0.15 mph! Jorge Campos of El Salvador lived for 18 years with a knife embedded in his skull- it was removed in 2013!

Now Jorge’s friends and family will ask how he got that neat-o scar. (¿How’d he get the knife in his skull in the first place anyway?)

Jorge must have been wearing earmuffs when the Sloth snuck up on him with the knife. :)

Chester may have got a patent in 1873, but earmuffs have been around since the first critter covered its ears!

The knife probably somehow missed the brain! It’s the only way he could have survived!
