50 years to the day

Did you know that John Adams and Thomas Jefferson both died on the exact same day?

July 4, 1826.

What is most interesting is that Adams already knew that Jefferson had died before he did. Even in 1826, important news could travel 1000 miles in less than a day.

Howdy, Happy fourth!
unfortunately for Cuba, a cartain date has passed, yet things continue on unchanged in Cuba, with fidel not yet pronounced dead. Maybe you remember this:
