alt Hacker NewsI just saw a tweet saying his birth was closer to the death of Thomas Jefferson (1826) than it is to today. Wow.

The grandson of the 10th US president died this year. The US is barely three generations old. That guy could say his grandfather shook hands with Thomas Jefferson.

Yeah, he's very old for a person and the US is very young for a country.
It’s a fun fact that Thomas Jefferson and John Adams both died on the same day, July 4 1826, 50 years to the day after the adoption of the Declaration of Independence.
