They started counting from zero, as it should be

You mean George Smith Washington?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

No, George the Sird Washington

I feel like you're lying, but I don't know enough about middle names to dispute it.

Although, Washington didn't have a mustache. That means SOMEONE was the first president to have a mustache.

And there's never been a president with purple hair. Harris, I'm lookin' at you. Be bold!

Oddly enough that was ALSO John Quincy Adams...

Ok. Not really. He was the first to have sideburns.

Lincoln was the first to have a beard.

Grant was the first to have a mustache.

Of course Wikipedia has the list of US presidents with facial hair. Because why not

What's the presidential tattoo situation?

[-] [email protected] 14 points 9 months ago

That would be Lyndon B. Johnson, who is said to have had a hell of a tramp stamp.

Is that what he was always showing people?

He named it "Jumbo"

[-] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

I believe both of the Roosevelts had the same tattoo, of their family crest

[-] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

as an expert in middle names (been working with them my whole life) i can confirm it is true

[-] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

As someone who works with middle names, maybe you can't tell but this middle name is in a lot of distress.

[-] [email protected] 23 points 9 months ago

OK what was it then? I've heard him being called John Quincy S. Adams at a local museum. Do you know what the S stands for?
