    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, he was with Marilyn Monroe.

    An old chestnut.

    I'd imagine if you asked a history teacher all that, they would tell you to do some research before posting. Have a look here for a reality check!

    Oh and they were both American and male too!

    Wrong.

    Seconds before Kennedy was shot, Chuck Norris appeared out of nowhere and deflected the bullet with his beard. Kennedy's head exploded in sheer amazement!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,225 ✭✭✭✭ejmaztec


    I'm always amazed at the fact that both Lincoln and Kennedy had heads!

    Just a slight Amendment here...


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

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

    Then exactly 24 hours later to the minute a new user called ReVeN will appear online, complete with a head, and will assume the mantle of posting archaic conspiricy theories.

    Both presidents also had types of car named after them:

    Lincoln Continental and Toyota Subaru!
    (President Lincoln enjoyed Continental Breakfasts and Toyota Subaru is Japanese for John Kennedy)

    All you guys need is a little more religious belief.
    Belief is the moral compass of the masses to which they cling and the tighter they cling the more irrelevant become the notions of others.

    It matters little that the belief is not provable, it only matters that they believe....... the end result is the same.

    There but for the grace of God go I.../
