42 not 43, Math, and an Update

It doesn't add up.

Something that has bothered me for years!

A long, long time ago while studying American History, I raised the question as to who was doing the math when it came to Presidents of the United States.

The teachers had no answer for me, and it has continued to bug me to this very day.

I'm not that proficient at math, but this seems wrong to me.

The following is a list of the 42 Presidents including the current President.
1. George Washington
2, John Adams
3. Thomas Jefferson
4. James Madison
5. James Monroe
6. John Quincy Adams
7. Andrew Jackson
8. Martin Van Buren
9. William Henry Harrison
10. John Tyler
11. James Knox Polk
12. Zachary Taylor
13. Millard Fillmore
14. Franklin Pierce
15. James Buchanan
16. Abraham Lincoln
17. Andrew Johnson
18. Ulysses S.Grant
19. Rutherford Birchard Hayes
20. James Abram Garfield
21. Chester Alan Arthur
22. Grover Cleveland
23. Benjamin Harrison
24. William McKinley
25. Theodore Roosevelt
26. William Howard Taft
27. Woodrow Wilson
28. Warren Gamaliel Harding
29. Calvin Coolidge
30. Herbert Clark Hoover
31. Franklin Delano Roosevelt
32. Harry Truman
33. Dwight David Eisenhower
34. John Fitzgerald Kennedy
35. Lyndon Baines Johnson
36. Richard Milhous Nixon
37. Gerald Rudolph Ford
38. James Earl Jr Carter
39. Ronald Wilson Reagan
40. George Herbert Walker Bush
41. William Jefferson Clinton
42. George Walker Bush

Now, everything I read refers to George W. Bush as the 43rd President. We all know some of these men were Presidents for more than one term, so that is accounted for in the count.

I'm just saying this bugs me as to how they do the math!!









Speaking of math:

Birth Breaks Hospital's Record for Biggest Baby

NORWICH, Conn. - Oh baby! Marie Michel's fifth child was one for the record books. Michel gave birth to a 14-pound, 13-ounce boy Tuesday.

Backus officials said the newborn - Stephon Hendrix Louis-Jean - broke the 18-year record for the biggest baby ever born at the hospital by 1 pound, 13 ounces. He was nearly 23 inches long.

"He's built like a linebacker," said Dr. David Kalla, who delivered the baby by Caesarean section.

After nine months of carrying Stephon, 36-year-old Michel said she was happier about having finished giving birth than about all the attention her baby was receiving.

The baby's size came as no surprise to his mom. Michel's oldest son weighed 9 pounds at birth, her 8-year-old twin sons each weighed 8 1/2 pounds and her youngest son, age 3, was nearly 12 pounds.

Now that's what they call a bouncing baby boy!!!

I think she should skip the breast milk and go straight to the solid food!!!










This is an interesting update to my Saturday 9-16 post. The plot thickens!!!

Nurse Strangles Man Hired to Kill Her

PORTLAND, Ore. - When Susan Kuhnhausen returned home from work one day earlier this month, she encountered an intruder wielding a claw hammer. After a struggle, the 51-year-old nurse fended off her attacker by strangling him with her bare hands.

Neighbors praised the woman for her bravery, and investigators said they believed the dead man - Edward Dalton Haffey - was burglarizing Kuhnhausen's home. But after an investigation, police now say the intruder Kuhnhausen strangled was apparently a hit man hired by her estranged husband - Michael James Kuhnhausen Sr. - to kill her.

The 58-year-old husband was taken into custody Thursday and charged with conspiracy to commit murder and attempted murder.

Haffey had worked as a custodian under Kuhnhausen at an adult video store, according an affidavit filed by the Multnomah County District Attorney's office.

Kuhnhausen and his wife were in the process of getting a divorce, and she told officers "her husband was distraught about the divorce and wanting to reconcile but that she was insisting on the divorce."

There was no sign of forced entry into the home, but according to the affidavit, Susan Kuhnhausen offered an explanation for the lack of evidence of a break-in: Her estranged husband had the security codes for the home's alarm system, and would have been able to disarm it.

I think if this lady tells you she wants a divorce, you better just say yes and not mess with her.

I guess the women will say, "Men - how stupid."

Plus he sent a boy to do a man's job.

Had he killed her with the claw hammer he probably thought he could make it look like a suicide!!!!

Oh wait, he was hired as a hit man so he used a hammer, I get it.
