Post any interesting/crazy/weird/funny historical facts here.

John Adams and Thomas Jefferson: friends, rivals, then friends again; 2nd and 3rd presidents of the United States respectively; two of the five members of the committee to draft the Declaration of Independence (which Jefferson wrote most of); generally considered two of the most important founding fathers, and the last two surviving.

Both died July 4th, 1826 of natural causes in their home states of Massachusetts and Virginia. It was the 50th anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence and the founding of the United States of America. Adams' last words were "Thomas Jefferson still survives" though Jefferson had actually died several hours earlier.

William Henry Harrison, James K. Polk and Zachary Taylor may have all died due to the White House's (literally) shitty water supply. The sewage in the White House was awful causing waste to seep into the water supply and there was also a human waste dump a few blocks away that likely contaminated it further.

After taking Constantinople, Mehmet II went to what he thought were the ruins of Troy, to let the souls of the ancient Trojans know that the descendants of their enemy Aeneas had finally been defeated and they could rest in peace.

Aeneas had been one of the citizens of Troy who fled to Italy. The Romans believed that they were descendents of Troy, which helped to instill a hatred of Achaea.
