The artefact is a piece of bloodstained pillow taken from the Peterson house where Mr Lincoln died in 1985 after being shot by an assassin in Fords Theatre in Washington, said Mr Waskie, a historian and professor at Temple University.

Lincoln died in 1985? "Artifact" is spelled "artefact"?

That Marfan disease is a bitch, I knew someone who had it. Does it usually cause depression?

As for Lincoln’s blood, doesn’t it liquify once a year?

It is spelled that way in Australia (link is from there).

You don't remember President Reagan at his funeral?

(This is an Australian newspaper, so they use the British spelling, "artefact.")

Prediction: They’ll find out Lincoln has a small amount of African ancestry.

Yes, Lincoln died in 1985, outliving his relatives and attending the opening of his Memorial in Washington. He was known by his friends as liking to spend pennies, pointing to himself, and kidding the store clerks “Lookee here, hey, see anything you’d like to ask?”

Lincoln, when he died in March of 1985, left his papers and other odds and ends to his next door neighbor, Mr. Jesse James.

And after they do, they'll mix Hussein's blood with Lincoln's, clone the mixture and we'll have a future President named Barakaham Oblinkin.

Meanwhile, most Americans cannot correctly state the sides in the Civil War or the century in which it was fought, and a large percentage believes that we fought the redcoats in the Civil War.

So yes, it is important to know, and spend money on finding, the minutae found in Lincoln’s blood.

Wasn’t Eisenhauer 1/4 black via a grandmother, or was that just a kook rumor?
