Fun fact: The first president to have a middle name was John Quincy Adams, the sixth president of the United States.
- John Quincy Adams
  
  the sixth president
  
  Quincy - Meaning:The fifth
  
  RAAAAAAAARGH
  
  They started counting from zero, as it should be
- I feel like you're lying, but I don't know enough about middle names to dispute it.
  
  Although, Washington didn't have a mustache. That means SOMEONE was the first president to have a mustache.
  
  And there's never been a president with purple hair. Harris, I'm lookin' at you. Be bold!
  
  That means SOMEONE was the first president to have a mustache.
  
  Oddly enough that was ALSO John Quincy Adams...
  
  Ok. Not really. He was the first to have sideburns.
  
  Lincoln was the first to have a beard.
  
  Grant was the first to have a mustache.

  What's the presidential tattoo situation?
  
  as an expert in middle names (been working with them my whole life) i can confirm it is true
- OK what was it then? I've heard him being called John Quincy S. Adams at a local museum. Do you know what the S stands for?
  
  Squincy
  
  John Quincy Skibidi Adams
  
  Seymour
  
  Smith, named after George Smith Washington
- John S. Quincy Adams
  
  Shinigami
President Fake A. Gay
- Randomass Fakenamington
- He's got my vote!
"Went back 8 years later after"

Words hard.
- I also don't never proof-read my shit posting on the internet tbh
  
  I just about exclusively Lemmy from mobile, and auto carrot hates my guts. I end up sounding illiterate most of the time
While looking up what his middle name was, I learned that the tradition of middle names did not become widespread in the US until the 1830s. Interesting.
- What I want to know is what's up with two-name first names like Mary Jo or Betty Lou. Did that happen before or after the invention of middle names?
  
  So nice we named her twice
Maybe the museum exhibit was about his nephew?
- George Steptoe Washington
  
  Sounds like what George Washington would've been called if he'd been a great dancer.
  
  Or a terrible one!
I wonder if this is a possible explanation for the mandela effect
- There's already an explanation for the Mandela effect, it's that our memories are extremely fallible and more affected by our view/environment as opposed to facts than most people believe.
  
  Still, this could have possibly made a mini localised Mandela effect
- People walking in from parallel dimensions to mess with others? Likely.
This is aweful. We really don't need people polluting knowledge in officialy capacity. Effing around with friends or as a yahoo on the internet sure. I really hope this story itself is the bs.
- No fun allowed.
