As a history teacher (and generally trivia geek), it is my duty to make sure that everyone that I know has lots of useless information floating around in their heads. Well, while recently watching the HBO mini-series "John Adams" with my wife, I was reminded of one of the cooler (and spookier) Presidential fun facts of all-time: John Adams (our 2nd President) and Thomas Jefferson (our 3rd President) died on the same day. That's weird enough, but it gets better. They both died on July 4th, 1826. Which just happened to be the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Which Thomas Jefferson wrote. With help from John Adams. Five years later, on July 4th, 1831, James Monroe (our 5th President) died. Spooky. There, now you are a little more geeky. You're welcome.

What is spookier is how crazy long both their noses are.
