I wonder if there is a hospital janitor that lives in the same hospital that he was born at?

Don't think (over here at least) we have hospital janitors, sexy girl. We have hospital porters, of course. Most of these were abandoned as babies and raised by the hospital staff, so I'm sure there must be.

My grandad was born, lived as an adult and had 13 children and died at the same address.

Richard Nixon is buried a few feet away from the house he was born in.

Does anybody else know? Huh?

You really believe him?

I've seen the house and the grave, but not the body. But why would he lie about where he lies?

101 miles.

Force of habit?

Nixon was kind of fibby, wasn't he?

A bit, yes.

(I'm, despite being a Brit, particularly fascinated and horrified at Nixon, mostly because I am a huge fan of Hunter S Thompson's work. Hunter wrote some of the most delicious criticism of anybody ever, about Nixon. I absolutely love Fear And Loathing On The Campaign Trail '71, one of the best books ever written about politics and political journalism.)

My fascination with Nixon comes from the photos of him in his post-presidential years, wearing those creepy old man shorts hiked up about 5 inches too high...

Well, if the history books eventually remember him for that then he'll have had the last laugh.

Back on topic... 169 miles, apparently. :|

I used this site to calculate the distance at about 1100 miles.
