Original Title: TIL Theodore Roosevelt was shot during a speech and kept talking for 84 minutes. He got shot in the chest, but because he had a thick speech manuscript in his pocket, the bullet was slowed. He refused medical attention, continued his speech, and said, "It takes more than that to kill a bull moose."
