And I would've gotten away with it too if it weren't for you meddling kids.

I never thought anyone would dare to test that in reality.

Abraham Lincoln was the tallest President of the US, at 6'4"; the shortest was 5'4" James Madison. But oddly enough, both men's bodily proportions were such that when they stood, their legs were exactly long enough to reach the ground.

[–] [deleted] 6 years ago

That is weird.

Staying with presidents:

James Buchanan is the only president of the US not to be married while in office. His First Lady was his niece. He is also regarded as one of the worst presidents this country has ever had.

reply

[–] [deleted] 6 years ago

What did he do that was so bad?

reply

[–] Mrmojo4700 (21579) 6 years ago

He is credited with allowing the United States to slip into the civil war while under his watch.

The Christian Saint Cosmas is often depicted holding a bottle of urine.

reply

[–] [deleted] 6 years ago

Why urine?

reply

[–] Stratego (30779) 6 years ago

Probably because he was a physician.

reply

[–] [deleted] 6 years ago

Like an alchemist?

reply

[–] Stratego (30779) 6 years ago

No, like a doctor and a surgeon.

reply

[–] [deleted] 6 years ago

lol, i see, i was thinking about physicist XD Language error.

reply

[–] Stratego (30779) 6 years ago

Well, some alchemists certainly studied medicine, so you weren't that far off.

reply

[–] [deleted] 6 years ago

That makes it a little better.

reply

[–] [deleted] 6 years ago

may be he had cold hands from poor circulation.

reply

[–] Stratego (30779) 6 years ago

Poor guy. Not only was he tortured and beheaded, he had to walk around with a bottle of urine all the time because of his cold hands! That's just sad.☹
