        I find this fascinating. My favourite one is Euler's identity -

        I was only joking

              That was quite interesting, even more than mildly. 🙂

                They installed the fountains in Horace Pond. A short 11 months after we moved in.

                      Only 4 people have served in the House of Representatives, the Senate, Vice President, and President:

                      1. John Tyler
                      2. Andrew Johnson
                      3. Lyndon Baines Johnson
                      4. Richard Nixon

                          Kamala will probably end up with 3 of the 4.

                            What’s particularly interesting, now that I think of it, is Nixon and LBJ overlapped in the House AND the Senate, LBJ succeeded Nixon as VP and Nixon succeeded LBJ as president.

                            They basically did this at the same time.

                            Thank you for your attention to this matter.

                              And JFK had 3 of the 4 jobs at about the same time.

                              There was talk of JFK for VP in 1956, JFK's father supposedly made a cash offer to LBJ to have his son as LBJ's VP. That didn't work out.

                              Then JFK wanted to be the VP on a 1956 ticket with Adlai Stevenson. Lucky for him that didn't happen either.

                              So he came close to having all 4 jobs.

                                        Cows are tasty, thus the sum mammalian consciousness at any given moment on the planet is largely that of a cow.

                                          Take lifespan into account

                                          Beef cattle live for only 2-3 years.

                                          African Bush Elephants live for 60-70 years
