Did you know that:
John Adams (our second president) and Thomas Jefferson (our third president):
(a) Died on the same day? That day was July 4th, our Independence Day.
(b) Died on the same date? That date was 1826, exactly 50 YEARS after 1776, when we declared our independence?

Yes, I did.
Adams' last words were "Thomas Jefferson lives" - he had no way of knowing that Jefferson had already died earlier in the day.

Yep, and Adams's last words were "Thomas Jefferson lives!" (but he had died a few hours earlier!)

Yes, I did. In fact, when I answered the other 4th of July question, I believe I alluded to it.
