forces of Maxentius at Mulvian Bridge in Rome.
In 1636, Harvard College, now Harvard University, was founded in

How many presidents' sons have become president themselves?
President George W. Bush is only the second son of a US president to
follow
his father's footsteps into the White House. But he's hardly alone
in having
a former president in his family tree. According to Family Tree
Magazine, 100
million Americans boast some sort of presidential roots. The
publication says
almost anyone with New England ancestry is probably connected to
dozens of US presidents. Those with Quaker or Southern roots also
have a good chance. Bush follows John Quincy Adams, son of John
Adams, as a presidential offspring also elected to the White House.
Benjamin Harrison is the only grandson of a president (William Henry
Harrison) ever elected president.
Other presidential pedigrees:
-- George Washington, the father of our country, had no direct
descendants:
smallpox in his youth may have left him sterile.
-- Franklin Roosevelt was a distant cousin of Theodore's, and his
wife Eleanor was TR's niece. So she was the only first lady who
didn't change her last name at marriage, since she was already a
Roosevelt.
-- John Adams, Ulysses S. Grant and FDR all had ancestors who sailed
on the
Mayflower.
-- You may have the best odds of being descended from little-known
President
John Tyler, who fathered 15 children, the most of any chief
executive.
-- Don't try claiming to be a direct ancestor of James Buchanan; he
was the
only bachelor president.

Was "Little Ricky" really the son of Lucille Ball and Desi
Arnaz?
No, he wasn't. The very first "Little Ricky" on the I Love
Lucy Show wasn't
even human. It was a doll wrapped in a blanket. Two six-month-old
twins,
Ronald and Richard Simmons, next shared the part. Another set of
twins,
Michael and Joseph Mayer, played three-year-old Ricky. The last
"Little
Ricky" was Richard Keith (real name: Keith Thibodeaux).

Who was the father of Hercules?
Hercules, the legendary strong man and mythological hero, was the
son of the
Greek king of the gods, Zeus (Roman counterpart: Jupiter). His
mother was a
mortal named
Alcmene, so Hercules himself was half-god, half-mortal. Zeus
fathered quite a
lot of children with various mortals and demigoddesses, including
the moon
goddess Artemis and her twin brother, the sun-god Apollo. Zeus'
wife, Hera,
was not so amused by his adulterous behavior and often punished the
mortal
women. She tried to kill Hercules as a toddler by sending two deadly
snakes,
but even then he was strong enough to protect himself.
