Here are you Extremely Boring Yet Curiously Interesting Facts for Friday, July 8. Can you spot the dud is this patriotic fireworks display.
The only president to be born on the 4th of July was Calvin Coolidge.
The Statue of Liberty weighs 225 tons.
3 US Presidents have died on the 4th of July. John Adams & Thomas Jefferson both died on July 4, 1826. James Monroe died on July 4, 1831.
There are 132 rooms in the White House. Of these, 35 are bathrooms and 11 are bedrooms.
Warren G. Harding's middle name is Gamaliel.
Federal law allows only the Texas state flag to be flown at the same height as the US national flag.
All US Presidents have worn glasses some of them just didn't like to be seen with them in public.
The ancestry of all 43 presidents is limited to the following 7 heritages or some combination thereof: Dutch, English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh, Swiss or German.
The dome on Monticello conceals a billiards room. In Jefferson's day, billiards was illegal in VA.
Abraham Lincoln, who invented a hydraulic device for lifting ships over shoals, was the only US President ever granted a patent. It was patent # 6649.
The only crime defined by the US Constitution is treason - Article III, Section 3.

And the false fact is: I know that Texans think they are special but not in this case. All states can fly their flag at the same height as the US flag as long as it is on the flag's right side (viewers left side).
