i don't know, Lincoln didn't seem like much of a partyer. look at his face. did he ever even smile?

Abraham Lincoln turns 196 years old. Born in 1809. To think in just four years he will be 200 years old. TWO-HUNDRED. That's gonna be a mega-lincoln party year.

his body will be 200 years old. i wonder where it is.

If memory serves, I believe Abe is under about 30 feet of concrete in a giant tomb in Springfield, Illinois. I remember walking there from the capital building with some high school classmates. We didn't think it would be that far of a walk, but it was. We were outta control!!! CRAZY!! CRAZY!! (Spudart was there)

i'm glad he's..uh...safe(?) under two tons of concrete.

Gorsh. I was curious to see the actual distance from the Illinois Capitol Building to the Oak Ridge Cemetery.

Illinois State Capitol
2nd St at E Capitol Ave
Springfield, IL 62701

Oak Ridge Cemetery
1441 Monument Ave
Springfield, IL 62702-2662

Total distance between the two: 1.5 miles.
That's it? I remember it being much longer. Oh well.

I bet we had to walk another two miles once we got to the cemetery to get to Lincoln's Tomb. Yea, yea. That's it.
