Something related to this thread.

[Guest bob_barron]

Yea- I've heard this thing a million times.

 

Still pretty eerie

Booth ran from the theater and was caught in a warehouse.

I thought he was caught in a farm house. which was set ablazed.

[Guest godthedog]

speaking of which, bush is in line to die in office or get an assassination attempt as part of the 20 year curse.

[Guest MaxPower27]

Well, he had his scare with the pretzel...

[Guest Boo_Bradley]

Reagan broke Tscumseh's Curse...

A week before Lincoln was shot, he was in Monroe Maryland.

A week before Kennedy was shot, he was in Marilyn Monroe.

The new one is bullshit. Marilyn Monroe died in 1962, and I didn't see a city in Maryland called Monroe.

You're generously interpreting the silly "20-Year curse" or "Presidential Curse" there. It was propagated by charlatans like Jeane Dixon, who was able to convince simple people of its veracity because she wrote for a supermarket tabloid. The "curse" was that a President elected in a year divisible by 20 would DIE in office. When Ronald Reagan inconsiderately failed to live up to Ms. Dixon's prediction for him, apologists modified it to include an assassination attempt.

 

In other words, it's a festering crock of monkey shit.

[Guest The Flying Dutchman]

*ruins fun*

[Guest The Flying Dutchman]

Whoops. Flyboy already ruined it. Excellent to have another cynical bastard who uses Snopes.

[Guest hardyz1]

Yeah, sorry to say this is niether interesting, odd, nor scary.

well duh. i don't give any real credence to the theory, & i didn't expect anyone to take it seriously, i was just going with the "strange presidential coincidences" trend.

[Guest The Czech Republic]

Besides, hasn't every President since Kennedy had an assassination attempt to some degree?

 

Someone find the "Clinton Upset About Not Escaping Potential Assassinations " article in The Onion, stat!

We've never seen Kane without his mask? Personally, I always though JFK faked his death.

 

You do the math.

Looks like all that money can't buy ya some proper tense to go with that diamond caviar, huh?

 

Reagan broke Tscumseh's Curse...

But I bet he'll die eventually, so don't count out this crusty old Indian warlord yet!
