What about Richard Milhous Nixon?
Both Herbert Hoover and Richard Nixon were Quakers. John Kennedy remains the only Roman Catholic to be elected President.
The man pictured on the Quaker Oats container is not intended to represent an actual person but rather a “man dressed in Quaker garb.” Inside the company, he is informally known as “Larry.”
Despite what people often think, Quaker Street is a small town in New York. There is no Quaker Street in Quaker Street, though there is a Quaker Lane.
Perry Mason’s secretary was Della Street.
Superman was pursued by Lois Lane, who never seemed to notice the resemblance between him and coworker Clark Kent.
Superman managed to blow his cover in the film Superman II when, as Clark Kent, he accidentally tripped and put his hand into a fire, without burning himself. Shortly thereafter, Superman opted to give up his powers so he could be with Lois, but no sooner had he done that than the world was conquered by General Zod.
Dr. David Willey, a physics instructor at the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown, demonstrates the Leidenfrost Effect by dipping his fingers in water, then plunging them into a container of molten lead without burning himself.
The Johnstown Flood was one of the greatest disasters in US history, caused when a dam that created a resort lake failed disastrously, killing over 2000 people. Despite the loss of life, and the lack of maintenance on the dam (which was known to have structural problems), no one was held responsible.
The chief engineer of Hoover Dam was Frank Crowe. Crowe built several important dams. His last dam was Shasta Dam near Redding, CA, where Crowe retired in 1944. (Crowe was born in 1882. The Johnstown Flood and dam disaster was in 1889, so clearly Crowe had nothing to do with it.)
Hoover Dam had its name “changed” back to Boulder Dam by Hoover’s successor, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who didn’t much care for Hoover, to put it mildly.
Another president, James Garfield, could write Greek with one hand while simultaneously writing Latin with the other.
Martin Luther contemptuously referred to the Epistle of James as an “epistle of straw” because he thought it conflicted with Pauline doctrine, notably by it’s emphasis on salvation by works as well as by grace.

Ephesians 2:8-9 is a fundamental verse for the Christian faith, where it is taught that people are saved by God’s grace - a free gift from God - and not by any good deeds that people do. People cannot “outdo” others in God’s eyes by doing a greater deed than another and, therefore, trying to appear greater in God’s eyes and boasting about it. That’s not how it works.
Ephesians 2:8-9 – For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith —and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.
This verse was a central theme to Matin Luther in his discussions with the established church which at that time was teaching people to give more money to the church (“indulgences”) to earn a better place in heaven.
Ephesians Bartley, a linebacker from the University of Florida, played only 1 season in the NFL, for the 1992 Philadelphia Eagles.
Ephesians Bartley’s jersey number was 50 and is the same number worn by NFL great Mike Singletary.
Ephesians Bartley joined the NFL in the same year as Philippi Sparks, a defensive back from Arizona State, who went on to a long career with the New York Giants. His daughter Jordin Sparks was the winner of the sixth season of “American Idol”.
