About Famous People
Everyone has had a desire to be famous. Andy Warhol refers to everyone having their 15 minutes of fame. But given the chance, most of us would want more. Today’s Warped site is one that gives visitors a glimpse at how the other half lives. But wait! It doesn’t just give you the current crop of famous people, but it goes way into the past. So strap on your time machine, and lets get goin’.
This site, called About Famous People, is a one stop site to learn all about those famous men and women in history. You’ll find Presidents, First Ladies, Civil War Generals, Actors, Great and Fascinating Women, Musicians, and much, much more. The information here is quite interesting, and a great place to bone up for your next game of Trivial Pursuit.
For example, I bet you didn’t know that Benjamin Harrison (you know him, former US President) was not only the first President to have electricity in the White House, but was also the first President to receive an electric shock. After getting a shock once, he refused to touch a switch, and often went to bed with the lights on. Year later Lyndon Johnson (you know, another President from Texas) made sure the news when he went around turning off the lights, to help save the government money. Boy could we use that kind of thinking in Washington now (and he was a Democrat!).
There is an in depth section on the Beatles, of all famous people. Not to be left behind, there is also the best Elvis site that I have seen anywhere. There is so much interesting material here, the Warp-o-Meter overloaded and couldn’t give it a reading. But rest assured, this site has something for everybody, young or old, rich or poor, famous or wannabe.
