Was Nero nearsighted?

Historians have reason to believe that Emperor Nero was nearsighted. He reportedly watched performances while holding a jewel with curved facets in front of one eye.

Although manatees are excellent swimmers, the deepest that one has been observed diving is 33 feet. Typically, the large, gentle creatures feed no deeper than about ten feet below the surface of the water.

Did Franklin's mother care about his attire?

When he was already President of the U.S. and his mother was past 80 years of age, Franklin Roosevelt (1882-1945) remarked that he had never, in his whole life, gone out of doors without his mother calling after him, "Franklin! Are you sure you're dressed warmly enough?"
