Happy birthday, Millard Fillmore, born January 7, 1800.
Nice of the Berkshire-Hathaway owned Buffalo News to make such a great tool for teachers, eh?

My blog, Millard Fillmore's Bathtub, is a continuing experiment to test how to use blogs to improve and speed up learning processes for students, perhaps by making some of the courses actually interesting. It is a blog for teachers, to see if we can use blogs. It is for people interested in social studies and social studies education, to see if we can learn to get it right. It's a blog for science fans, to promote good science and good science policy. It's a blog for people interested in good government and how to achieve it.

I wonder if most Buffaloans (Buffalo-ites? Buffalonis? Buffali? Bulls and Cows? What do you guys call yourselves?) could get the quiz, just by living in Millard Fillmore’s space? I wonder how badly others do by not being there?
