Apparently, LBJ was so fascinated by the gadget when it first hit the market in 1961 that he bought hundreds of them to give away as gifts. Presidential biographer/historian Doris Kearns Goodwin got five electric toothbrushes from her time covering our 36th president.

BONUS. Which musician made history in March 2017 when he released two new albums on consecutive weeks... and debuted each album at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart on consecutive weeks?

Future

Some of you may know him as R&B singer Ciara's baby-daddy, before Ciara left him for Seattle Seahawks QB Russell Wilson. Future's self-titled fifth studio album was released on February 17... and then he released another album, "HNDRXX", the following Tuesday. It's certainly not unusual for musicians to release multiple albums in one year, but Future went ahead and did it on consecutive weeks. The fact that both albums debuted at #1 on consecutive weeks is what made it significant.
