    Cannot remember if it has been asked previously, but what is Ulysses S. Grant's actual first name?

    That reminds me of a pub trivia question we fielded a few months ago. Other than Thomas Jefferson, only one other president was named Thomas. Who is he?

    On this date, April 27, the worst maritime disaster in American history occurred. What was it?

    Is that the Eastland disaster?
    Edit: No, guess not.

    As the only age-compatible male on a deserted island with a Hollywood starlet and smoking-hot farm girl, there was at least one guy who thought that was the best day in American history.

    That might be the most expensive, but this is in terms of loss of life.
    Nearly 1,200 people died in this disaster.
