Historical find - previously undiscovered pictures of Lincoln at Gettysburg
OK, call me a sucker for history, but I got a chill when I saw these. In a curiously dyslexic fashion, Monday is the seven score and fourth anniversary of the famous "four score and seven" speech.

Mnemonic: how do you remember the year of the Gettysburg address? You know it was "four score and seven years" after the Declaration of Independence, and everyone knows that was in 1776, right? Therefore, 1863.
