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.

Creepy huh? Send this to as many people as you can: Hey , this is one history lesson people don't mind

OH NOES THE NUMEROLOGIES!!!!11!!!!!!!!

psssst "23"

Sun -- I've seen that b4 and it always freaks me out

*cough* http://www.snopes.com/history/american/lincoln-kennedy.asp

Medina ~

I have received this twice within a few days so I thought I'd better repost it...Like it's a sign or something...LOL

Yes..it's kinda freaky!!

I thought it was pretty interesting, but something caugth my eye (besides you, ) Marilyn Monroe died a year before Kennedys assassination, so I did some research. snopes ripped it up pretty well.
best, Claude

Yea ~ I just went to snopes - thanks Claude....I knew I should of checked into that before posting.....

This has been around for sometime now. but is interesting though. Even seen it on the history channel( yea I know bored..).

Thanks for sharing this SunBG. I'm old enough to remember the Kennedy assassination, and to remember seeing him in person when he came to our town.
I've also seen this before (minus the Marilyn Monroe part). My father had a card with these facts printed on it, years ago. It was nice seeing this again.

~N~U~M~B~E~R~S~ (ouuuuuuuuu)

Interesting facts.........., but try this one, on the "911 Attacks" !!!


1) New York City has 11 letters

2) Afghanistan has 11 letters.

3) Ramsin Yuseb (The terrorist who threatened to destroy
the Twin Towers in 1993) has 11 letters.

4) George W Bush has 11 letters.

This could be a mere coincidence, but this gets more interesting:

1) New York is the 11th state.

2) The first plane crashing against the Twin Towers was flight number 11.

3) Flight 11 was carrying 92 passengers. 9 + 2 = 11

4) Flight 77 which also hit Twin Towers, was carrying 65 passengers. 6+5=11

5) The tragedy was on September 11, or 9/11 as it is now known. 9+1+1=11

6) The date is equal to the US emergency services telephone number 911. 9+1+1=11.

Sheer coincidence..?!

Read on and make up your own mind:

1) The total number of victims inside all the hi-jacked planes was 254. 2+5+4=11.

2) September 11 is day number 254 of the calendar year. Again 2+5+4=11.

3) The Madrid bombing took place on 3/11/2004. 3+1+1+2+4 =11.

4) The tragedy of Madrid happened 911 days after the Twin Towers incident.

Now this is where things get totally eerie:

The most recognized symbol for the US, after the Stars & Stripes, is the Eagle. The following verse is taken from the Quran, the Islamic holy book:

''For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome eagle. The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allahand lo, while some of the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced: for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah and there was peace."

That verse is number 9.11 of the Quran.

Still unconvinced about all of this..?!

Try this and see how you feel afterwards, it made my hair stand on end:

Open Microsoft Word and do the following:

1. Type in capitals Q33 NY. This is the flight number of the first plane to hit one of the Twin Towers.

2. Highlight the Q33 NY.

3. Change the font size to 48.

4. Change the actual font to WINGDINGS

It will look like this:

Q33 NY


Somethings are just a "Mystery" that leaves us, "THINKING" !!!
