Trivia Advent Calendar

[J. Beckert]

Having nothing else to toast the newly named town of Lincoln, Illinois, Lincoln poured the juice of a watermelon from a cup to Christen the town. I think he said anything named Lincoln would never amount to much, or something like that. I remember this because I also once used it as a trivia question which backfired horribly on me. I now proudly claim this point for the Germans.
