History Mystery





Have a history teacher explain this----- if they can.



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, and he was with Marilyn Monroe.



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
















WHO FIGURED THIS OUT?

INCREDIBLE

1) Fold a NEW PINK $20 bill in half...




2) fold again, taking care to fold it exactly as below



3) Fold the other end, exactly as before




4) Now, simply turn it over...




What a coincidence! A simple geometric fold creates a catastrophic premonition printed on all $20 bills!!!
COINCIDENCE YOU DECIDE

As if that wasn't enough. Here is what you've seen...

Firstly The Pentagon on fire...



Then The Twin Towers.


...And now... look at this!



TRIPLE COINCIDENCE ON A SIMPLE $20 BILL

It gets even better!! 9 + 11=$20!!

This is too interesting to pass up!
Pass it on to your friends who have nothing to do.

1. Re: Send this to as many people as you can, cause...
Please do not send this or anything else "to as many people as you can." This sort of email clogs up the internet and slows service for all of us. Also, as someone that has received all too many of these things, I can tell you with certainty that many people you send them to do not appriciate having their email boxes filled with this stuff. What your friends and family would much more appriciate would be a personal note written (not copied) about what's really going on in your life.

2. Have you heard of coincidence? Yes it does happen. It doesn't mean there is any mystical significance involved. With the number of people that have ever been on the planet and the number of events that have happened to each of them, I suspect a close examination could come up with any number of coincidental lists to match this one. And each of them would have no more mystical significance.

Sorry to be a wet blanket, but I thought someone should speak up for the value of simple (or not so simple) reasoning.

I first read about the Kennedy-Lincoln "coincidences" (there are several factual problems in the list, unfortunately) in a school book in elementary school. At the time I thought it was the coolest thing I had ever read. Of course, at that time I also thought the Hardy Boys were great literature.

I was born the same day John Lennon was killed!

Jennifer and John both begin with J!

My middle name begins with O, John's second letter!



That can't be just a coincidence! I am the reincarnate of John Lennon! Imagine!!



(Some of the above is not factual).

No I do not like to read that stuff in my emails, in fact i delete it before I open it... at least I try to.. Now I don't mind reading it on a message board and I just read it as entertainment, for myself.. true or not true well nobody knows the truth history or bible.. we believe in what we want... that is that.........that is why we are able to post things and think the way we want and believe in what we want... or the world wouldn't work...
IMHO

I enjoyed reading it YJ.. thanks for posting it...
