Subject: Coincidence, or Not!
 

Have a history teacher explain this ---- If he 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.

The names Lincoln and Kennedy each contain seven letters.
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.

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.

Lincoln was shot at the theater named 'Kennedy.'
Kennedy was shot in a car called 'Lincoln.'

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.

Things that make you go hmmmmm :error

All sounds good, except Oswald didn't kill Kennedy ... the CIA/Mafia/Cubans did!

Interesting facts... thanks for the list!

Tha's the weirdest set of coincidence I've known so far.

Useless facts to make my brain explode.

thats nuts!

That is nuts!

That is quite a few coincidences ... nuts.

thats crazy

Yeah, I have read those stuff, I dont know... it just happen...

take a look what i have found...

A coincidence occurs when unexpected parallels can be drawn from two or more events. In the popular sense it is used to describe events (or, more accurately, combinations of two or more events) which are of low probability.

A well-known set of coincidences involves the assassinations of Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy.

Whoa that is crazy... but interesting

heard that a long time ago

me too. a friend emailed that to me last year. it one of the greatest mystery of our time.

Kennedy may have been the reincarnate of Lincoln. Thus the parallels.

I do not believe in reincarnation under normal circumstances, but I do think it is possible for it to happen in certain cases.

What do you mean by that?

it , is, at, to

all contain one vowel and one consonant - oooo aaaa i hear you say?

hear sear, pear, fear all contain 4 letters 3 of which are shared by the other words in **sequence** ooooo aaaaaa

uhmm, that's pretty interesting..reincarnation?these things are weird

I wish the History channel would do a show on this.

Ya there definitely hasnt been many shows, movies, documentaries, etc.. made about the lincoln and/or kennedy assassinations. I think these events are important and should be looked at more closely.
