the teapot dome scandal pales in comparison

History facts I learned this evening:

Did you know?

FACT!
President James Garfield was fatally shot by a complete lunatic.

FACT!
President Garfield lived for 3 months after his shooting but the doctors were completely incompetent and so he died from infections.

FACT!
Abraham Lincoln's son Robert was saved by John W. Booth's brother Edwin.

FACT!
Lincoln's last living relative died in 1984 and there is no photo of him anywhere on the internet

(I can't believe Lincoln has no living descendants! that's crazy!)
