Whee!



I'm told this is a compilation of public domain photos, and that we should pass it on!

Very cool! THEY MAKE SUCH A NICE SQUARE! :)

Which is odd, since there are 43 of them... (presumably they only put Cleveland in there once, but that still leaves us 42 + Obama). I wonder who got ditched?

I was wondering about that. Go figure it out, please, cuz i sure don't have the brainpower to do it today.

Hard to say with precision—they cleverly dropped one from the period where they all look kind of the same—but I think it's Calvin Coolidge who got dumped (you can look at the pictures on Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presidents_of_the_United_States) and draw your own conclusions: Coolidge should be between the end of the fourth row and the beginning of the fifth). Somewhat appropriate, that we don't hear anything from Silent Cal... <grin>

Yep. I was about to post and say I thought it was Coolidge.

Without a doubt the missing person is between Taft and FDR (who are both rather distinctive looking), and based on comparing Wikipedia with the extremely tiny pics in the compilation photo, I do think it is Coolidge.

Which is, indeed, sadly fitting.

I'm glad I'm not the only one wondering this...

Surely you know you can count on me for things like this? ;-)

I thought 42 didn't sound right...

Somebody should create an animated version, in which one president seamlessly morphs into the next.

What a sweet, beautiful, perfectly perfect square with such a wonderful new face.

I'm proud to be an American today. :)

Well, 44 makes a nice rectangle too. :-)
