Many lamented over the death of the 2 seat Thunderbird. But the numbers tell the story of a very successful decision by Ford.

1957 T-Bird sales were 21,380. The all new 1958 4 seater sold almost 38,000. For 1959: 67,000 and for 1960: more than 90,000. All sales for the '55 to 57' were 53,166 total.

No . . . it's not Hiroshima. It is Tokyo after the fire bombing on March 9, 1945. It was Japan's single biggest death toll in one day: Over 100,000 people died. More than either of the atomic bomb drops.

The Battle of Antietam was the deadliest single-day battle in American history. Over 23,000 Union and Confederate solider casualties. If you thought it was D-Day - not even close at 4,414.

To take it from John Wayne, Butch Cassidy, and Red Dead Redemption, the Wild West was an unpredictable free-for-all—just one region-wide, decades-long brawl. Thing is, that’s all myth. Peter J. Hill, a senior fellow at the Property and Environment Research Center, puts it succinctly: “the violence of the [Wild] West is largely a myth.” Some research indicates that, between the years of 1859 and 1900, there were fewer than a dozen robberies total. Even the gunfight at the O.K. Corral, perhaps the most storied shootout in the entire compendium of Wild West lore, resulted in a relatively modest body count: three.

George Washington was our first President right? Actually . . . no. He was our first ELECTED President. Peyton Randolph was the first (and third) President of the Continental Congress.
