Thanks for the post, caspai....and, please, add more!!!!

Maybe he left that one to his mistress.

I didn't know that. TJ was good for all sorts of things.

He was quite the little architect, too. He designed his house at Monticello, and the state capitol of Virginia, and the Rotunda at the University of Virginia (which he founded in 1819 - at the tender age of 76), and some other neat octagonal house out in western Virginia - and I cannot remember its name.

He was 33 when he wrote the Declaration of Independence.

I dig me some TJ. He was a revolutionary, you know, and he put his ass on the line for it, too. The Brits would have hanged him if the colonists had lost.

 

[hotNnasty]

OHMY! mbb do you have a wee computer chip in your brain?
You have a lot of knowledge stored up there.
The only thing I know about TJ is from the movie with Nick Nolte
