    Off-topic, but not-so-fun fact: lemmings don’t actually follow each other off cliffs in mass suicide events. The people filming the documentary actually scared and chased them to get them to panic and do that.

    Horrible, I know

      True and completely right, but I lack the vocabulary to replace it with something more accurate and still evocative enough :)
