Three Presidents Die on July 4th: Just a Coincidence? | Constitution Center

It is a fact of American history that three of the five Founding Father Presidents died on Independence Day. But was it just a coincidence?

Not only that, but Adams and Jefferson were the same day, same year. John Adams's last words were something like, "Jefferson still survives," although disagreements exist on memory of the exact wording, and Jefferson had actually died a few hours prior. They were also two of the three last surviving signers of the Declaration of Independence, with only Charles Carroll outliving them.

Here's something I didn't know until just now! For years we've had recycled things, glass, plastic, paper...lots of things...but RECYCLED TOILET PAPER!!!???!!!
I couldn't believe it, and yes, here's a company for example. The company name of course is: Who gives a crap!
Imagine working there...or at a party: "This is Ms. Leonard...design engineer for Boeing. And Mr. Thompson...sales manager for Snap On. And here we have Bob Smith...VP for Who Gives A Crap"!

That's pretty funny. :ROFLMAO:

From their FAQ...

WAIT, ARE YOU RECYCLING USED TOILET PAPER?
We understand why you might think this, but the answer is no — we use post consumer waste paper! Ok, we hear it now too. We use recycled office paper, not used toilet paper, to make our TP. Get your head out of the sewer!

I can't say I "know" this.
Except humans, can swallow and breathe at the same time.

Sort of like being able to walk and chew gum, but "we humans are special" ;-)

edit

Well, this didn't print out the way it was intended. keyboard error ;-)

What was intended
"All other primates , Except humans, can swallow and breathe at the same time."

sorry
