A friend of mine had sent this to me in an email so, I dont know who it was that did all the research but, I checked it all, and its all true, and very strange. I thought I would share it with you all.



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 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 assasinated Lincoln was born in 1839.
Lee Harvey Oswald, who assasinated Kennedy was born in 1939.

Both assassins were known by three names.

Both names are composed of fifteen letters.

Lincoln was shot at the theater named "Ford" (another president)
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 assasinated 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 in Marilyn Monroe.

Ya just cant make this stuff up!
