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

Lincoln was shot in a theatre and his assassin ran and hid in
warehouse.
Kennedy was shot from a warehouse and his assassin ran and hid in a
theatre.

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.

Creepy....?

    The 2060 president will actaully explode in flame, after being highly paranoid and fitting the Whitehouse full of flamethrower security devices, and never coming out. A cat accidently trips one.

    I know this... it was on the web!

    A preseident elected every 20 years has been killed/assasinated/suspicious death, except so far for the president elected in the year 1980 and the year 2000... :chin: anyone up for a holiday? :hyper:

    1840 - Harrison, shortest term in office and died from pneumonia with every medication just making him sicker
    1860 - Abe Lincoln, assasinated
    1880 - Garfield, assasinated
    1900 - McKinley, assasinated
    1920 - Harding, 'heart attack' - but no autopsy was allowed and the doctor was a hired actor, etc.
    1940 - Roosevelt, massive cerebral hemorage when he was just sitting in a chair
    1960 - Kennedy, assasinated
    1980 - Jimmy Carter, still alive
    2000 - GWBush, still alive

    I've heard all that before. This is too much for a simple conspiracy, don't you think? Maybe it's another prank by Charles Fort's "cosmic prankster" (It was Fort who had that theory, right?).
