It just seems unrealistic.

Lincoln assassinated April 15, 1864 

77 years, 7 months, 6 days

Biden born Nov. 20, 1942 

78 years, 2 months, 1 day

Biden inaugurated Jan. 20, 2021

@StumpTownStu

 For some weird reason that stuff amazes me.  We have a hard time grasping how 'recent' history really can be.

For example, few people realize that President John Tyler, born in 1790, has a grandson that is alive today.

Lincoln was assassinated in 1865.

I've heard the Tyler thing. an_roll_laugh Those Tyler boys must be fertile stock.

Edit: John Tyler popped one out at 63. That kid popped one out at 75!! So, yeah, total studs.

There were a lot I disagreed with him on.  That is toward the top.

On a side note, if you have never been to the Panama Canal -- it is well worth it.  A true engineering feat.

Better is to actually take a trip through it.  If you ever visit the area, it is nice to say that you have done it.

Fertile...for sure.  But longevity also.  The grandson has to be close to 100 by now.  I assume he is still alive.

Correct  mistyped.  peace_5

But time is still correct.  Otherwise, would be a year closer, even.

Wow.  Did not recall the ages.  I figured both had to have been in 70s or even 80s.  63 seems kind of young.

His older brother just died 4 years ago. He was 95. Good genes. They had another brother that died in infancy. Maybe they inherited some of his life force. Maybe the Tylers are like Highlander.

I hope i'm still shooting live ammo at 70!

Wow.  Did not remember another brother also.

They say my g-g-father outlived 2 wives and was on his 3rd wife and had a kid in his 80s.  

Maybe back then guys kept firing.

Environmental factors are killing testosterone. Microplastics, etc. Also sedentary lifestyle.

That shit is in Panama, bro. What should we have gotten in return?

 

Cost to the United States – $352 Million (1914 dollars) or $7.5 Billion (2007 dollars)

Panama could have given the US a portion of the revenues until we were paid back our investment..
