But I can't, so I'm not.

I didn't even know that White Anglo Saxon Protestants had stingers !

I've heard if beat your own scrotum with a hammer , you'll get smarter . So after you test the stinging/breath holding theory , try that one out .

Of course you can.

Hold breath, jump off very high cliff.

Try it. Let me know how you get on. 😉

penguinpuffins can't be stung by wasps because our leathery skin is too thick and furry.
does anyone know if this system also works for other predators (i'm think particularly of LEOPARDS)?
