My whole life I was told that they were called "Linkin' Logs" because they link up and this morning I learn this?

Because you're not from the US and you weren't taught that Abraham Lincoln built a log cabin with his bare hands?

I'm not sure if that's true, it's just what the toy is named after.

Also the band Linkin Park, is named after a park called Lincoln Park, IIRC it's in Chicago? Searched it and yes, it's in Chicago — the band named for the park is from California. Though I suppose there may be other parks named for Lincoln, but Lincoln the president is from somewhere in the midwest.

Also, there are descendants of Abraham Lincoln alive today and they look just like him. He seemed like a bizarre type, like people don't look like that, but I guess they do, or they can.

    Hate to be that person, but the last known direct descendant of Abraham Lincoln died in 1985 without any children, and also didn't really look that much like Abe.
