I'll never forget his mutton chops.

He left us 144 years ago and we're still not over him. He inspires President Barack Obama, drug companies make ads starring him,  and, today, we celebrate his birthday: Former Prez Abraham Lincoln is now 200 years old.

In honor of his special day, Rosenbach Library & Museum launched a Web site that takes a look at our prolonged obsession with the man. Why, more than almost every other U.S. president, does he still capture our attention? Yeah, the dude was a great speaker. But we've got Obama now, so why do we still want Abe?

Scholars and artists will attempt to tackle this question, but the Rosenbach wants to hear your answers, too. The site is interactive as hell — you can post your audio, images, text and videos on Lincoln, and will be able to compete to be a pundit on the site in the future. Plus, it's got Rosenbach's documents on the man, including scandalous letters about Mrs. Lincoln's financial transgressions. And music inspired by Lincoln. And a kid's book on Lincoln. And a hand-painted Lincoln dress. And tons of other stuff. Get to it, people.

Rosenbach launches Web site for the Lincolnphile in all of us
