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.
