Something interesting, but odd and scary

Recommended Posts

Guest redbaron51

No you might have seen this, but i found its pretty neat.

 

 

 

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 their children while living in the White House.

Both Presidents were shot on a Friday.

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, who assassinated Lincoln, was born in 1839.

Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born in 1939.

Both assassins were known by their full names.

Both names comprise 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 both assassinated before their trials.

 

And, the most recent fact noted ...

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.

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.

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. ;)

Reagan broke Tscumseh's Curse...

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