So, our dear friends John Morrison aka @localcelebrity on Twitter and Len Kendall aka @lenkendall on Twitter are currently a part of this really cool event called the Mercedes Benz Tweet Race. Check out the site for all the details, but, basically they’re racing three other teams to Texas and they need Tweets addressed to @lenkendall with the hashtag #MBTeamE to fuel their Mercedes Benz. It’s pretty damn cool.

So, to support #MBTeamE, we wrote a bunch of #incorrectpotusfacts on Twitter – one ridiculous, completely incorrect fact about every President of the United States. In case you missed it, here’s the list (I removed the hashtags, etc, from this compiled list for ease of reading)…

#1 George Washington once ate a dozen hardboiled eggs on a dare.

#2 John Adams hated dolphins and small, red buttons.

#3 Thomas Jefferson invented the word “supercilious.”

#4 James Madison built the world’s first submarine.

#5 James Monroe was pissed he wasn’t the first president named James.

#6 John Quincy Adams made his entire cabinet wear newspaper hats.

#7 Andrew Jackson’s catch phrase was “It’s Jacksoning time!”

#8 Martin Van Buren had a bionic cat named Margot.

#9 William Henry Harrison’s nickname was “Old Facey-face”

#10 John Tyler would put olives on freaking everything.

#11 James K Polk thought people were making fun of him when they’d dance the polka.

#12 Zachary Taylor ate nails for breakfast and tacks for snacks which made his doctor mad.

#13 Millard Fillmore’s name backwards is Millard Fillmore.

#14 Franklin Pierce was a bird whisperer.

#15 James Buchanan had a crippling fear of hat boxes.

#16 Abe Lincoln could fight off 13 Confederate orphans at one time.

#17 Andrew Johnson invented baseball. Originally called it “Belgian golf.”

#18 Ulysses S. Grant cried every damn time he went to the opera.

#19 Rutherford B. Hayes’ mom was the inspiration for the Golden Girls.

#20 James Garfield always got pelicans and penguins confused.

#21 Chester A. Arthur had a brother named Chester B. Arthur.

#22 Grover Cleveland founded the towns of Grover and Cleveland.

#23 Benjamin Harrison told people “All about the Benjmanins” was about him.

#24 Grover Cleveland’s two terms were consecutive for him since he time travelled.

#25 William McKinley swallowed swords at parties. That and booze.

#26 Teddy Roosevelt called cows “land manatees.”

#27 William Howard Taft ate paste.

#28 Woodrow Wilson doodled unicorns on everything.

#29 Warren G. Harding was a black belt in Tai Kwan Do.

#30 Calvin Coolidge just wanted a hug.

#31 Herbert Hoover invented the first vacuum just so he could make “you suck” jokes.

#32 Franklin Roosevelt had notoriously smelly feet.

#33 Harry S. Truman drank a lot of Ovaltine. Like, A LOT.

#34 Dwight D. Eisenhower collected Precious Moments figurines.

#35 John F. Kennedy was in a ska band.

#36 Lyndon B. Johnson wrote poetry that did not rhyme. Ever.

#37 Richard M. Nixon loved the board game Trouble and hated Risk.

#38 Gerald Ford had a killer Chewbacca impression.

#39 Jimmy Carter made the first “that’s what she said” joke.

#40 Ronald Reagan made that jelly bean thing up so he’d have more time to fight communists.

#41 George Bush ghost wrote several episodes of Dragonball Z.

#42 Bill Clinton’s pet jellyfish is named Mrs. Butterworth.

#43 George W. Bush things Ron Weasley is the best character in those books.

#44 Barack Obama rights wrongs/hopes his next leap will be the leap home.

Aaaand that’s it. We hope you enjoyed the #incorrectpotusfacts. Please support #MBTeamE and if you thought “hey, those were funny” please check out tonight’s performance of Batterymouth: It Burns at 7:30pm at the de Maat Theatre at Piper’s Alley in good old Chicago, Illinois.
