I’ve heard of random electrical signals coming in on unused data ports being used for random numbers, but this is the next step up! This all goes along with this report<\/a> from Smithsonian Magazine<\/strong><\/em>:<\/p>\n

How are naked mole rats weird? Let us count the ways: They\u2019re cold-blooded mammals, they\u00a0organize<\/a>\u00a0their breeding colonies like insects, they turn into\u00a0super babysitters<\/a>\u00a0after eating poop, and they can\u00a0survive<\/a>\u00a0for up to 18 minutes without any oxygen. As\u00a0Kai Kupferschmidt reports for\u00a0<\/a>Science<\/a>,<\/em>\u00a0a new study has found that these bizarre critters also appear to defy everything we know about the way mammals age\u2014and could hold clues to slow aging in humans.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
