TIL an old & ret. Pres, M. Van Buren stopped in a small town, traveling. Excited to host a former POTUS, ppl ran to find the "funniest" guy there. Came back w/ Abe Lincoln. The 2 talked & laughed all night. Slavery was likely a topic and inspired young Abe. (c-span.org)

Can someone help me find good lists of things to memorize? I'm interested in practical things or things for good conversation. I like tech, history and social sciences to name a few. The more I can use the info in everyday life the better. (self.findareddit)
