For no particular reason, I'm fond of U.S. presidential trivia. This should come as no surprise to anyone who's heard me say that we're approaching our 100th year without a mustache or beard on the president.
Well, just now, I was looking up the names of First Ladies, and I discovered a curious set of apparent coincidences: Three pairs of presidents married on the same dates. Hayes and Garfield, December 30, 1852. Taft and Wilson, June 19, 1886. Coolidge and Hoover, October 4, 1905.
...No, I didn't mean for that to sound like the presidents married each other.

Conspiracy?
THE NUMBER 23 IS EVERYWHERE!
Also, you didn't include presidents' wives in the tally for presidential mustaches. Can't forget about the Bea Arthur!
