Presidential Trivia

Mental_floss ran a contest to give away some books. Players had to answer questions about American presidents and could submit their own nuggets of presidential trivia including this gem:

“Lyon Tyler, whom John Tyler sired at the spry young age of 63, went on to continue the family tradition and in 1928, at the age of 75, fathered a child himself. That son, Harrison Tyler (at right, in 2006) is still alive. The grandson of the tenth president of the United States, the grandson of a man born in 1790, is alive today. He currently lives on his grandfather’s estate, Sherwood Forest, in Virginia. And ladies, if you’re interested, he may be looking to continue the family legacy.”


And I thought it was amazing that my dad's dad was born in 1884.
