HERE'S SOME INTERESTING STUFF ABOUT DEAD PRESIDENTS AND ONE THAT'S STILL ALIVE

Harry S. Truman did not have a middle name. The initial S in the middle of his name doesn't in fact mean anything. Both his grandfathers had names beginning with 'S', and so Truman's mother didn't want to disappoint either of them.

President Richard Nixon was an avid weightlifter and could bench press 220 lbs.

William McKinley was the first President to ride in an automobile (it was the ambulance he rode in after being shot).

John Quincy Adams was the first President to be photographed.

George Washington loved to play marbles. Washington did not shake hands. He felt the act demeaned the office of the President.

Blueberry Jelly Bellies were created especially for Ronald Reagan.

John F. Kennedy said "Ich bin ein Berliner." This could mean either "I am a native of Berlin" or "I am a jelly dough nut." Berliners knew what he was talking about

The noun "Berliner" has two meanings in German. It can mean a male native of Berlin or it can mean a jelly-filled pastry. Unlike in English, when you are declaring where you come from in German you omit the indefinite article. If you want to say "I am a pastry," you leave in the indefinite article. Thus Kennedy should have said "Ich bin Berliner" to be grammatically correct. Although some German comedians made hay of this later on, at the time no one thought Kennedy was claiming to have jelly in his veins. The phrase may have sounded odd, but they knew what he meant and appreciated it.

"Hamburgers" and "Frankfurters" are named after cities in Germany, too.

The Baby Ruth candy bar was actually named after Grover Cleveland's baby daughter, Ruth.

President George H. W. Bush invented the mobile deep seas oil rigs in use today.

On September 26, 1901, on orders from Lincoln's son Robert, Lincoln's body was re interned encased in concrete. The coffin was open in order to dispel rumors of The President not being buried there. All 23 of the people who viewed the remains of Mr. Lincoln have long since passed away. The last one was Fleetwood Lindley who died on February 1, 1963.>Click Here to see proof
