I learned something interesting yesterday from a Trivia session at the Day Care where I volunteer. Our 9th President was William Henry Harrison. He delivered the longest inaugural address in history on a bitterly cold March morning. It clocked in at 1 hour and 45 minutes. He caught a cold on that day which eventually turned into pneumonia. He passed away 32 days later, the shortest term ever served.

j: And did it teach politicians to keep their speeches short? NOOOOOOO...-N
No kidding? That's amazing! I didn't know either.
Interesting trivia, didn't know that. Too bad, no antibiotics were available at the time.
Too long the speech was yah, Aunty.
N, hahahahaha!
Interesting yah, Kay.
Chet, I love the trivia session at the day care.
I wonder if others also got sick that day with being stuck with that hour and 45 minute speech in the bitter cold.
I wonder too, Celia.
Interesting, I learned something! I'm going to pass it on to my boys : )
