WRX22B1998 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 You may find this interesting.No history teacher told us the following( I suppose) ... Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846. John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946. Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860. John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960. Both were particularly concerned with civil rights. Both wives lost a child while living in the WhiteHouse. Both Presidents were shot on a Friday. Both Presidents were shot in the head. Now it gets really weird. Lincoln's secretary was named Kennedy. Kennedy's Secretary was named Lincoln. Both were assassinated by Southerners. Both were succeeded by Southerners named Johnson. Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln, was born in 1808 Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908 John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln, was born 1839 Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born 1939 Both assassins were known by their three names. Both names are composed of fifteen letters. Now hang on to your seat ! Lincoln was shot at the theater named "Ford." Kennedy was shot in a car called "Lincoln" made by "Ford." Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials. And here's the "kicker": A week before Lincoln was shot, he was in Monroe, Maryland. A week before Kennedy was shot, he was with Marilyn Monroe. and Lincoln was shot in a theater and the assassin ran to a warehouse. Kennedy was shot from a warehouse and the assassin ran to a theater. emailed to me a while ago...pretty strange / interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas. Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 That is kind of scary. I don't think it was ever intended to happen but it did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harwood Butcher Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 I heard a few of those before, but some I haven't. It gets you thinking about how big of a coincidence it all is and causes some to think...maybe it was actually set up. Then I just think, why would they make sure their secretary's had the other President's name? Most are ironic, but some might have some reason behind them, such as the 100 year difference between everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
