Happy April Fools Day from the biggest fool of all. No, wait, I take it back: I run a distant second to William Henry Harrison, our 9th president. At the time of his inauguration on March 4, 1871 he was the oldest president ever to take office. A month later he was dead of pneumonia. Dang, I guess maybe he shoulda worn that coat after all?
The rest of today’s offerings consist of everything from maternal tranquilizer darts to true taco miracles to sage marital advice from Henry VIII. Enjoy! And may this April 1st find you perfectly whelmed – unlike our coatless 9th POTUS: May he rest in peace.
A wee bit of non-matrimonial history is here.
