Have A History Teacher Explain This...if They Can - focusonthis88 - 08-23-2005
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 their children 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.'
Lincoln was shot in a theater and his assassin ran and hid in a warehouse.
Kennedy was shot from a warehouse and his assassin ran and hid 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.

I wonder how much of it is factual... bloody cool tho. I've seen that before, a few years back, but it's still weird to read

Yawn, that can be so easily dissected paragragh by paragrah so easily.
No doubt in my mind every date is factual but when "narrowed" so much I know I could explain and connect any two events.
The only lesson History has to offer is not to repeat it and pay better attention to the present.

Shouldn't it read A week before Kennedy was shot, he was IN Marilyn Monroe

Lmao blue toy, but yeah intresting no the less...
Have A History Teacher Explain This...if They Can - scoobasteve - 08-24-2005
Yeah, thats pretty wicked..
I nominate Al to research and see how many of those facts are true.
Have A History Teacher Explain This...if They Can - Raine - 08-24-2005
As per Scooba's request, I did some research...
Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846.
true
John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946.
Nope, 1947, same year as Nixon
Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860.
Yep, Nov. 6, 1860
John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960.
True
Both were particularly concerned with civil rights.
Aren't all major political figures concerned with civil rights?
Both wives lost their children while living in the White House.
Partially true, both lost a son while serving in office
Both Presidents were shot on a Friday.
True
Both Presidents were shot in the head.
I don't wanna get into this. I'm enough of a conspiracy theorist... how is it possible that a bullet fired at Kennedy on a downward trajectory that entered (according to the marks on his clothing) below the shoulder line exit his throat? I dunno.
Now it gets really weird.
Lincoln's secretary was named Kennedy.
Kennedy's Secretary was named Lincoln.
I dunno where to find this information
Both were assassinated by Southerners.
True
Both were succeeded by Southerners named Johnson.
True
Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln, was born in 1808.
True
Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908.
True
John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln, was born in 1839.
Nope, John Wilkes Booth was born on May 10, 1838
Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born in 1939.
True, but did he really kill Kennedy?
Both assassins were known by their three names.
True
Both names are composed of fifteen letters.
Also true, but considering the birthday thing was wrong, it's not really relevant
Now hang on to your seat.
Lincoln was shot at the theater named 'Ford.'
True
Kennedy was shot in a car called 'Lincoln' made by 'Ford.'
True
Lincoln was shot in a theater and his assassin ran and hid in a warehouse.
Kennedy was shot from a warehouse and his assassin ran and hid in a theater.
Who knows
Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials.
True
And here's the kicker...
A week before Lincoln was shot, he was in Monroe, Maryland
True
A week before Kennedy was shot, he was with Marilyn Monroe.
Bluetoy's account was probably more accurate

It makes you wonder if something similar is going to happen at the next 100 year interval of those dates that are 100 years apart.
