Fun Facts about Richard Nixon:

--He was the only President to resign the office as well as the only person to be elected twice to both the Presidency and the Vice Presidency.

--His courtship of his wife Pat is maybe the most unromantic/creepy/depressing account of a courtship I've ever read:

"In January 1938, Nixon was cast in the Whittier Community Players production of The Dark Tower. There he played opposite a high school teacher named Thelma "Pat" Ryan. Nixon pursued her, but initially Ryan was not interested in a relationship. He began making unannounced visits to her home and would take her on Sunday drives to the Quaker Sunday School where he was a teacher. After several proposals, Ryan eventually agreed to marry Nixon and they wed at a small ceremony on June 21, 1940."

--Met Elvis at the White House in 1970, gave him a pearl-handled revolver that was supposedly able to kill ghosts.

--Unanimously voted by historians "The Most Cussingest President". Also, "The President Most Likely to Come Back as a Zombie and Kill Us All".
