    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>In 1799, Washington fell ill from a bad cold with a fever and a sore throat that turned into acute laryngitis and pneumonia; he died on December 14, 1799, at his home, while attended by Dr. James Craik, one of his closest friends. Modern doctors believe that Washington died from either epiglottitis or, since he was bled as part of the treatment, a combination of shock from the loss of five pints of blood, as well as asphyxia and dehydration. Washington's remains were buried at Mount Vernon. In order to protect their privacy, Martha Washington burned the correspondence between her husband and herself following his death. Only three letters between the couple have survived.</div> DUDE WE HELPED KILL OUR FIRST PRESIDENT!<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Washington's teeth were not made out of wood, as was once commonly believed. They were made out of teeth from different kinds of animals, specifically elk, hippopotamus, and human.[20] One set of false teeth that he had weighed almost four ounces (110 g) and were made out of lead.</div> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Washington Wow. :ohmy:

    Our crappy medicine then probably killed many important people. But the teeth, human teeth? George must've been the tooth fairy. [​IMG]

For instance if you search for AIDS anyone can go on and say "BCB has this"Ive seen one where an actors page had sh*t like "she lived through AIDS had a heart transplant was actually born as a man and had a sex change at 3 months old...."

    It's possible that you guys wanted to kill him dude you had a WAR againts "The South" and it was in the same freaking country so that means right there its your own people killing your president. You guys killed each other in the freaking war now thats JUST FLAT OUT MESSED UP....

    Another site saying the same:<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>George Washington's dentures are storied. We now know that they weren't, for the most part, made of wood. They were fashioned of lead, wire, ivory, bone, and human and animal teeth.</div>Honestly, look at them:[​IMG]There's no way that is wood.

Many of them have had several more than our single civil war, examples being the Roman Empire, England, China, and France. So basically, you're not making sense again.
