Lincoln vs Kennedy

[tunaplanet 0]

Sure you've seen this before, but it's one I like a lot.


Here's a little part of US history which makes you wonder
Coincidence?

Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846.
John =46. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946.

Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860.
John =46. 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 =46riday.

Both were shot in the head.

Lincoln's secretary was named Kennedy.
Kennedy's secretary was named Lincoln.

Both were assassinated by Southerners.

Both were succeeded by Southerners.

Both successors were named Johnson.

Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln, was born in 1808.
Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908.

John Wilkes Booth,was born in 1839.
Lee Harvey Oswald,was born in 1939.

Both assassins were known by their three names.
Both names are comprised of fifteen letters

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 in Marilyn Monroe.

In roughly 42 years we'll have an additon to this with facts about another president that says he or she might be assinated because the "numbers line up."

If you play with numbers long enough, you will get them to line up.

The only part of this list worth paying attention to is the last entry.

And here's the kicker,
A week before Lincoln was shot, he was in Monroe, Maryland.
A week before Kennedy was shot, he was in Marilyn Monroe.

Impossible to tell some of these people anything. They missed it as a joke and went straight to their bible (Snopes).
