(Most popular final letter: N. Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Jackson, Van Buren, Harrison, Buchanan, Lincoln, Johnson, Harrison, Wilson, Truman, Johnson, Nixon, Reagan, Clinton.)

  2. That is pretty interesting. Although my favorite bit of presidential trivia - because, of course, it applies to me - is that if Obama wins, for the first time in my life, I’ll be older than the president. Scary, huh?

  3. That’s distressing. But then again, since the myth about curse on Presidents elected in a zero-year has unfortunately failed to come true, perhaps this statistical pattern will likewise not hold.
