yeah i actually did know that. but that doesn't really help, because most people don't just eat celery, they like to dip it in dressing or put peanut butter or whatever on it.

the hundred years war lasted for well over 100 years.
james madison didn't want to initiate the war of 1812, but his wife, Dolly, convinced him to do it because it would ensure his reelection.
thomas jefferson payed a scandalmonger to write libelous articles about john adams--while serving as Adams' vice president!

haha, a bonus for what? A quiz? thats funny. Our math teacher in 8th grade also gave us weird bonuses like "What is your favorite color?" and "Please draw a self-portrait'. Haha, he even gave us bonus points for writing down a "your mama" joke.
