    To be honest, if I had to be executed, I'd rather that than the electric chair or lethal injection.

    We only beat them by 13 years!

    Madame Guillotine vs having your neck snapped by a piece of rope. Both barbaric of course but I know which one I would choose.

    US President John Tyler, who was born in 1790, has two grandchildren still alive today! That's grandchildren, not Great or Great-great.

    But are they older than 89?

    If he had a child when aged 60 in 1850 and the child had one aged 60 in 1910, that grandchild would be 107 today. Just about possible.

    Google is your friend:

    Lyon Gardiner Tyler Jr. was born in 1924. Harrison Ruffin Tyler was born in 1928. They are the sons of Lyon Gardiner Tyler Sr., one of President Tyler's 15 children.

    "Both my grandfather — the president — and my father, were married twice. And they had children by their first wives. And their first wives died, and they married again and had more children. And my father was 75 when I was born, his father was 63 when he was born," Harrison Tyler explained to New York Magazine in 2012.

    What do you mean just about possible? It's a fact! It wouldn't be on this thread otherwise.

    The Bayeux Tapestry is not a tapestry, it is an embroidery.
    Tapestries are woven on a loom, while embroideries are made of threads sewn into a fabric.

    Spain and Portugal were ruled by a dictatorships until the mid 70s. Being born after that is amazes me that a western European country was under a dictatorship that recently.

    Belarus is still ruled by a dictator

    You’re younger than my eldest daughter. I had you down as being about 65. No idea why.
