Original Title: TIL that president Teddy Roosevelt was shot in the chest while giving a speech in 1912,but instead of going to the hospital, he insisted on finishing the speech first. He talked for over 80 minutes with a bullet lodged in his ribs, saying, It takes more than that to kill a Bull Moose. Absolute mad!
