Number 7 will make you cry.
Hey, I didn’t come up with that title- it was attached to the video already. We shouldn’t call these “facts,” as that implies a certain intersection with the truth. But you know, I often come across “facts” on the internet that turns out to be quite wrong, and now Joel Veitch of Rathergood and David Shute are doing their best to contribute to that mass of disinformation. It’s good that they made it go so fast, because if this were slow enough that your crazy great-aunt could understand it, she’d forward it to all her friends.
Mental Floss host John Green shares some interesting facts you probably didn’t know about the founding fathers.
Enjoy!
It couldn’t have been easy for John Green to come up with such tantalizing tidbits about our Founding Fathers that we haven’t heard before. Who knew Samuel Adams was ugly? That John Jay got a new job every time he left home? That Paul Revere was drunk during his famous ride? Of course, Benjamin Franklin gets the biggest share of trivia,because that man was a never-ending font of awesomeness.
