Old, but interesting news. John Tyler has garandchildren: ALIVE! [View all]

http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2012/01/28/thats-old-school-u-s-president-john-tyler-born-in-1790-has-two-living-grandsons/

Two successive generations of men who fathered children at advanced ages—even by today’s standards—with much younger wives.


I always thought this was just cool
