<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>In 1799, Washington fell ill from a bad cold with a fever and a sore throat that turned into acute laryngitis and pneumonia; he died on December 14, 1799, at his home, while attended by Dr. James Craik, one of his closest friends. Modern doctors believe that Washington died from either epiglottitis or, since he was bled as part of the treatment, a combination of shock from the loss of five pints of blood, as well as asphyxia and dehydration. Washington's remains were buried at Mount Vernon. In order to protect their privacy, Martha Washington burned the correspondence between her husband and herself following his death. Only three letters between the couple have survived.</div> DUDE WE HELPED KILL OUR FIRST PRESIDENT!<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Washington's teeth were not made out of wood, as was once commonly believed. They were made out of teeth from different kinds of animals, specifically elk, hippopotamus, and human.[20] One set of false teeth that he had weighed almost four ounces (110 g) and were made out of lead.</div> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Washington Wow.
