I have an interesting question:

How much of my current body came with me from America when I moved to Asia (say seven years ago), and how much of it has been made since?

Ron Paul had a presidential campaign all set and ready to go in 1992, but declined to run and endorsed Pat Buchanan at the last moment.

Would've loved to see him debate HW Tongue

George Bush won only 80% of the vote in the 2004 New Hampshire Republican primary.

Many of the participating lower officers in the decembrist uprising/revolt assumed that the 'Constitution' in the battlecry 'Constantine and Constitution' referred to Constantine's wife.

In 2006, a guy called Chris Putnam hacked Facebook and made thousands of profiles look like Myspace pages. Facebook subsequently hired him. (bonus: if you're on facebook chat and you type in ":putnam:" (without the quotes,) a small picture of Chris Putnam will appear)

I also should add that Walter Jones, of North Carolina, also was going to run for President this year, and did the exact same thing as Ron Paul did in 1992. If things go exactly as they did for Paul, Jones should be a candidate for President in 2028 and 2032.

Before even clicking the link, I knew it'd be this song.



My band's drummer is 5'4, which makes him 5 inches shorter than me...and he's 17.

George W. Bush is my 8th cousin twice removed (IIRC); we share a common ancestor from 17th-century New Amsterdam.

In fact, every US president is related to each other, at least by marriage.
