What exactly is a naked mole rat? We’re glad you asked. Naked mole rats are mammals that live underground. They have pink wrinkly skin and look like hot dogs that have been left in the microwave too long. They are typically about 3 inches long. Naked mole rats have large, sharp teeth, tiny, tiny eyes that remain shut most of the time and no external ears. They will almost never see the light of day and remain in underground tunnels that are sealed from the outside (resulting in very little fresh air).

This is somewhat of a trick question. Bad things don’t happen to good people for the simple reason that good people don’t exist. As we argued before all people are born into sin and are sinners.
