General "Did you Know?"s

[CosmykTheDolfyn]

One of the weirdest diseases known to man is progeria, or premature aging. It affects only 1 in 8 million. Very few live past 13, past 20 is exceptional. Most die of heart problems. Signs include hair loss, a very small, fragile body with a large head and a beak like nose. Two of the most famous people with the disease are also two of the longest lived sufferers of it. The oldest person with the disease was Meg Casey, who lived to 29 before her death in 1985.
Another famed case was that of Leon Botha, aka DJ Solarized. Born is Cape Town, South Africa, he became a professional painter with several of his own exhibitions during his life despite having no formal training. One of these exhibitions had a theme woven throughout that was his favorite phrase "When life gives you lemons, I slice 'em and serve 'em back!"
He also taught himself to become a DJ and joined the hip hop trio Die Antwoord. Not long after the band's first success (when their music video "Enter The Ninja") went viral on Youtube, he suffered a massive stroke due to progeria. This stopped his music work but not his painting. He would pass away from complications related to the stroke 7 months later. This painting was a self portrait he made not long before his death 1 day after his 26th birthday.

In the spoiler, the music video that made him and his band internet famous (Die Antwoord is still together as a duo).
