Post by pina »

Here's something I found and thought you might find it interesting.

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.

The names Lincoln and Kennedy each contain seven letters.

Both were particularly concerned with civil rights.

Both wives lost their children while living in the White House.

Both Presidents were shot on a Friday.

Both Presidents were shot in the head.

Lincoln's secretary was named Kennedy.

Kennedys 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.

Both names contain 13 Letters.



John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln, was born in 1839.

Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born in 1939.

Both assassins were known by their three names.

Both names are composed of fifteen letters.

Lincoln was shot at the theater named 'Ford.'

Kennedy was shot in a car called 'Lincoln.' made by ´Ford´.

Booth ran from the theater and was caught in a warehouse.

Oswald ran from a warehouse and was caught in a theater.



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.

When John Hinckley shot President Reagan on March 30, 1981 the planets Jupiter and Saturn were in conjunction with each other and at opposition to the sun. This is a configuration that happens every twenty years, in the same years of the inaugurations of the U.S. presidents who died in office!
