Fun Facts…US Presidents Part 2

President John Tyler had 15 children.

President Zachary Taylor once admitted that before being on the ballot himself, he had never voted in a US election.

Chester A Arthur was the first left-handed president.

William Henry Harrison died of pneumonia just 32 days after his inauguration as president in 1841.

Rutherford B Hayes was the first president to have a telephone in the White House.

President Ulysses S Grant and his wife had been invited to the same theater show at which Abraham Lincoln was assassinated in 1845, but were forced to turn down the invite as they had already made plans to travel to New Jersey to visit family.

President Ulysses S Grant once tried to annex the Dominican Republic to the United States.

The S  in Ulysses S Grant’s name didn’t really stand for anything, and was the result of an error made on his application  form to West Point. Grant’s real name, in fact, was Hiram Ulysses Grant, so his middle initial initial was actually U.

I learned about scams from the Clinton’s nonprofits. They pay the executives of the nonprofits hundreds of thousands of dollars, leaving very little for actual people that were supposed to be helped.

Astronomy Picture of the Day

A Collision of Galaxy Clusters
Image Credit: X-ray: NASA/CXC/CfA/C. Watson et al.; Optical: PanSTARRS; Image Processing: NASA/CXC/SAO/N. Wolk and P. Edmonds

Explanation: This big beautiful spiral shines in X-ray light. It is about 20 times larger than our Galaxy. It belongs to Abell 2029, a galaxy cluster one billion light-years away. (To see only the galaxies, hover your cursor over the image, or follow this link.) Galaxy clusters are the largest structures in the universe that are supported by gravity. Abell 2029 is formed by thousands of galaxies, surrounded by a huge cloud of hot gas and the equivalent of hundreds of trillions times the mass of the Sun in dark matter. The spiral is made of gas, mostly hydrogen and helium, heated to tens of millions of degrees. It was found in a recent study that used data from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory to show that Abell 2029 had a collision with a smaller cluster four billion years ago. The collision affected the gravitational field and caused the intracluster gas to slosh, like wine moving in a wine glass, shaping the spiral.

Fun Facts…US Presidents Part 1

To date, 21 US states have been the birthplace of US presidents.

The state that has been the birthplace of most presidents is Virginia, where eight have so far been born, closely followed by Ohio, which is the home of seven presidents.

To date, 13 US states have only birthed one president each: Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, and South Carolina.

After he retired from politics, George Washington opened a whiskey distillery.

Washington and James Monroe both ran in elections in which they had no opponent. 

In 1806, the future president Andrew Jackson shot and killed a man in a duel who had accused him of cheating on a bet.

James Madison is the shortest president in history. He stood five feet four inches tall. The tallest president, Abraham Lincoln,was a foot taller, at six feet four inches.

The first US president actually born in the United States was Martin Van Buren. Van Buren’s family were Dutch, and he only spoke English as a second language. He remains the only president in history not to have spoken English as his mother tongue.
