Today's Trivia
Neatorama � Blog Archive � Presidential Grandson: "John Tyler {wiki} was the tenth president of the United States, serving in office from 1841 to 1845. In 1853, at age 63, he fathered a son named Lyon Tyler. At age 75, Lyon Tyler fathered Harrison Tyler {wiki}, who was born in 1928. Therefore, the grandson of a US president born in 1790 is still alive today. Bob Peck contributed this fact to a presidential trivia contest at mental_floss and won a book about US presidents. See, sometimes it pays to know trivia!"

MENTAL FLOSS consistently disappoints. Unlike certain blogs.
It always pays to know trivia, Bill. Trivia is my life.
Two hundred years from now they'll be saying the same thing about Tony Randall's grandson.
