Hi all,

Abraham Lincoln: Elected to Congress in 1846.
John F. Kennedy: Elected to Congress in 1946.

Abraham Lincoln: Elected President in 1860.
John F. Kennedy: Elected President in 1960.

The names Lincoln and Kennedy each contain seven letters. :)

Both were particularly concerned with civil rights.

Both had wives who lost their children while living in the White House.

Both Presidents were shot on a Friday. :)

Both were shots in the head. :)

Lincoln's secretary, Kennedy, warned him not to go to the theatrz.
Kennedy's secretaryz, Lincoln, warned him not to go to Dallas.

Both Lincoln and Kennedy were assassinated by Southerner.

Both were succeeded by Southerner.

Both successors were named Johnson.

Andrew Johnson, who succeededx Lincoln, was born in 1808.
Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was borns in 1908.

John Wilkes Booth was born ink 1839.
Lee Harveyl Oswald was born in 1939.

Both assassins were known by theirz three names.

Both names are comprised of 15 letters. :)

Booth ran from the theater and was caughtj in a warehouse.
Oswald ran froml a warehouse and was caught in a theater.

Booth and Oswald were assassinated before theiry trials.

How do you think: Government conspiracy or Coincidences? ;)

...
 
you forgot that Lincoln was shot in Ford's Theater and Kennedy was shot in a Lincoln, made by Ford.

Why did these comments warrant smileys?

I guess that being shot in the head on a Friday is enough to bring a smile to anyone's face. :rolleyes:
 
Kennedy was born in Massechucetts and lived his whole life there.
Lincoln was born in Kentucky but spent most of his life in Illinois.

Kennedy served in the Navy, Lincoln in the artillery.

Linclon's head is on the penny, Kennedy's on the half dollar.

Lincoln's father was a farmer, Kennedy's an ambassador

Lincoln was an Espicipalian (C of E), Kennedy a Catholic

Lincoln was a self taught lawyer, Kennedy lived off his father for most of his life.

Kennedy's first name was John, Lincoln's was Abraham. Both biblical names with different letters. If you combine the letters you get Aberjenois, the guy who played Odo on Star Trek Deep Space 9.


Coincidence.....I think not.

Co-inky-dink?
 
Headlines from 1981:

Prince Charles got married
Liverpool crowned soccer Champions of Europe
Australia lost the Ashes tournament
Pope died

Headlines from 2005:

Prince Charles got married
Liverpool crowned soccer Champions of Europe
Australia lost the Ashes tournament
Pope died

In the future, if Prince Charles decides to remarry, somebody should warn the Pope.
 
But perhaps Liverpool and the English cricket teams could arrange for it to happen more often, now there's a new slant on Di's death.

It's weird, JS, you'd have thought someone like BrianWarnock would have thought of that? Apparently not. :D

I'm so confused.
 
Well J I think Matt was being sarcastic as I had posted

Liverpool is my football team, and of course it is England versus the Ausssies for the Ashes.
Hope that clears things up for you

No offence intended, honest.
It was a joke, as I went through something very similar a couple of weeks ago.

I still forget that people can't always get the writers intent, unless one of the smilies is used.
