A Weird Coincidence

[amanda]

What a coincidence!

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.

It gets even weirder!

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.

Creepy, huh?

Is this the definition of COINCIDENCE?

Have a random day!

Unbelievably old.

I remember studying all this shit during my freshman year in highschool, I was pretty amazed, and started to think it was all some big, government conspiracy. I still do, sorta.

[Timmy]

Lincoln and Kennedy are THE SAME PERSON.

it all makes sense now, huh?

[Nacco]

and... they both where humans!
what a coincedence

[Cyberdevil]

The conspiracy is everywhere! You can run but you can't hide. Well, you can hide, but they'll still find you eventually . . .

"were" sorry fot the bad english

"John Wilkes Booth (May 10, 1838 - April 26, 1865) was an American stage actor who, as part of a conspiracy plot, assassinated Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, at Ford's Theatre in Washington, D.C. on April 14, 1865."

I'm sure you'd find flaws in the other ones if you looked them up.

Well, JFK and Oswald would have to have been chosen for presidency and assassination because of the days they were they born on so that it would represent Lincoln and Booth. I think that's a bit too crazy to believe.
Who would go to all the trouble, and what would be the point?

Contrary to popular belief.

I'm pretty sure he was hit twice and one of the shots got him in the head.

[Kaworu-Ikari]

Haha, pretty good find. Did you do this research yourself, or did you jack it from the nets?

[Cigolini55]

I think you had put to much effort in proving this was a coincidences,

Lincoln never ave a shit about civil rights, all he wanted was to keep the union together.

Nope, he really was shot in the head. The first shot got him in the upper back and through the throat and the second made a big mess out of his head.
