Jimmy Carter, peanut farmer turned president. Seems like a straight-laced guy, right? Wrong. Dude was a damn nuclear engineer. Not just some armchair hobbyist, either. We're talking a graduate of the Naval Academy, served on a nuclear submarine, the whole nine yards.
Imagine that. This guy, with his down-home charm and folksy demeanor, could've built a nuke in his backyard, if he wanted. Maybe there's more to Jimmy Carter than meets the eye. Or maybe he just really liked those glowing green rods.
PS- The story of Jimmy Carter getting attacked by a swimming rabbit in 1979 is wild. There's actual footage of this bunny charging his fishing boat. What were the Secret Service supposed to do? I don't think there's a protocol for defending the president from an angry swimming rabbit. Carter had to splash water at it with a paddle.
This incident captures the bizarre reality of being president. You're the most powerful person in the world, but you're also a target for swimming rabbits.
