[maxumboater]

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.



Creepy huh? Send this to as many people as you can, cause:
Hey, this is one history lesso n most people probably will not mind reading!

I got that in an email. knew there were similarities, but man those are weird.

Lincoln's secretary was not named Kennedy...he had two secrataries and their names were John Nicolay and John Hay.

Booth was born in 1838, not 1839.

And you messed up the last part....it's not supposed to say Kennedy was with Marilyn Monroe...it is supposed to say he was IN Marilyn Monroe....get it. But that is also inaccurate because Monroe died over a year before Kennedy was assassinated.

Some of it is still cool though.

There was a double blind study conducted once to see whether or not humans would choose truth over lies, or lies over truth. And the result was that humans always prefer to hear lies rather than truth, even if they don't know that they are being lied to humans will always choose to believe lies.
