Have a history teacher explain this if they can.

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 White House.

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 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.

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...

Weird... but interesting!

Any conclusions on these coinky-dinks, oscar? 'Tis fascinating, isn't it?

I've always thought this was fascinating and it's seems like way to many things to be coincedences doesn't it?

I don't know what to conclude other than Kennedy was re-Incarnated from Lincoln and slipped Into a parallel universe where his fate was a replay of his past life... :wah:

I remember learning this in school so I think it has always been assumed to be correct, but it is very eerie.

I remember all of these coming up in the mid-sixties. Some country artist (Red Sovine, I think) actually recorded something about the coincidences between the two men.

Some people make a big deal about it back then.

Was kinda strange.

It does feel like something out of the twilight zone! EEK!
