This…may be the best huffpost article in its lifespan.
That was absolutely hilarious. Betty White is older than sliced bread. That’s fucking priceless.
And poor Cubs fans.

Oh…I know. I am a Cubs fan. I became slightly more depressed to find that out. Well, it was a tie between surprise and depression lol
Wow. The fax machine one was especially crazy to me. Very interesting article.
Thought it was pretty cool. I think there’s evidence that the pyramids and the sphynx are a lot older than 4,000yrs old.
I don’t understand the importance of President Tylers Grandsons though.

Many Americans seem to operate under the belief that the U.S. Civil War, emancipation, and virtually every important events in U.S. history occurred a very long time ago.
That is absolutely not the case. The U.S. Civil War occurred started in 1861, only roughly 150 years ago. The fact that a couple of President Tyler’s grandchildren are alive strikes home the fact (though it is the case that Tyler had a couple kids when he was in his 60s, and those kids also had their kids quite late) that is not a very long time ago.
It puts a lot of things into perspective. Heck, it would probably help if many of the people in my generation and afterwards remembered that there are many, many people still alive who were our age around the time of the Civil Rights movement, and the existence of legalized segregation in the U.S.
