The Crickets also did the original recording. The BF4 version is also a cover.

"The right to read out loud." Gotta disagree with this one. It's very easy to think of cases where it's rude or inconsiderate to read out loud. It's like listening to music without headphones on the transit.

Reply to TIL Mountain Gorillas almost never drink water. They get their hydration from from their plant diet and morning dew. Despite living in rainforests, they also tend to dislike rain and try to not get wet when crossing a stream. They have never been observed drinking water in the wild before 2013 by Ainsley-Sorsby

Some primatology is shockingly recent. Jane Goodall commented how before she started her research into chimps in the late 1950s, only a couple of scientists had actually observed chimps in the wild, only briefly, and none of them up close.

Wild Honey Pie by the Beatles. Don't get me wrong, Revolution 9 is terrible, but it stands out as possibly the most widely known piece of avante-guard music. Wild Honey Pie doesn't even get a historical footnote in anything. Non-Beatles fans don't know it exists, most Beatles fans have forgotten about it, and those who haven't wish they had.
