The Lincoln-Kennedy Connection

Yeah, yeah, I know this is OLD, but I remembered Lincoln-Kennedy thing this last night when I was listening to online talkback Radio in NZ, and some dood was talking about the number "Eleven" in events surrounding 9/11. It is quite interesting.

Anyway, here is the Lincoln-Kennedy thing:
  • 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 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 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.

  • Lincoln was shot at the theater named 'Ford.'

  • 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 assassinated before their trials.

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

  • A week before Kennedy was shot, he was in Marilyn Monroe.
In the interests of balance (cos that's the kind of guy EYE yam) here is an 'urban myth buster' about this.

Now check out the Eleven thing then:

I normally wouldn't link to this stuff (My Hairy Arse = 11 letters) but I sell my soul today, for all my fans out there in the name of cheap entertainment. Enjoy.
