Lincoln and Kennedy

Here's a little part of US history which makes you go h-m-m-m:
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.
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.
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 three names.
Both names are composed of fifteen letters.
Lincoln was shot at the theater named 'Kennedy.'
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.
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.

The funny thing about that is that most of those facts are common knowledge, yet when arranged like that it's a mind trip.

Did you ever see the burning Trade Center Towers on the new Twenty Dollar Bills. Unreal...Bullboy

**Dale Mabry** · 03-27-2005, 09:05 AM

**Witmaster** · 03-28-2005, 06:03 AM

If so, can you claim royalties for that?

**I Are Baboon** · 03-28-2005, 07:43 AM

If you take a $100 bill, rip it in half six times, then lay all the pieces out, you can see who killed Kennedy. Go ahead and try it.

That only works if you send me the six pieces.

The version I read was like so:

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

I mean, if you take my life and anybody elses on the planet you are going to find similarities. Indeed it looks strange when layed out like that, but in reality, its just the various connections that we all have. Theirs are just more obvious because some people have too much time on their hands and are well documented.

I like this quote from the $20 site: "

What are the odds that a contorted wrinkling of the $20 bill would accidentally contain one of the many spellings of his short 5-letter name?

Eh, pretty fucking good, eh?

**Dale Mabry** · 03-30-2005, 08:16 AM

I once took a deuce and when I wiped it looked like the Virgin Mary drawn with brown crayon.

I figured it has been a while since a doodie joke.

Not nearly long enough.

**Dale Mabry** · 03-30-2005, 11:55 AM

Just because you have to work in shit all day doesn't mean the rest of us have to suffer a life without doodie jokes.

Here is where you give yourself too much credit. A life without doodie jokes truely would constitute suffering. What I'm opposed to is YOUR doodie jokes.......................they SUCK!!! Because you're a doo doo head.

My friend folded a twenty a bunch of times to show me all this crap, the last thing he showed me was osamas name on the bill. so I took the bill folded it few time and showed him my name then his name... Im sure that if you try hard enough you can fold a dollar to look like the Mona Lisa.

Why bother with her? I'll be impressed when somebody folds a bill to look like Jenna Jameson.
