President Lincoln may have used an "Emoticon" inn 1862?
I found this "Lincoln" bit of news-although it is not new as the story came out in 2009. It seems there is the question or possibility that Lincoln used an "Emoticon" in writing one of his speeches. Its interesting reading as we are here to consider "all things Lincoln:"

So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in?

Well, I thought the original use of the "smile" was when it appeared on Forrest Gump's shirt. Shy

Well, it looks to me like maybe the typewriter key might have been having issues. But who knows maybe someone was trying to smileSmile
