It is my fault, I did not budget my time as well as I could have. But...in my researching I came across this interesting document. I was amazed and a little creeped out by it, but I wanted to share because is it very interesting.
(I am doing a report on the medical ordeals of JFK, and because he and Abe Lincoln were the only 2 Presidents to be assassinated...I came across this in my research)
- 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 both contain seven letters
- Both were particularly concerned with civil rights
- Both their wives lost children while living in the White House
- Both Presidents were shot on a Friday
- 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 1939
- Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born in 1939
- Both assassins were known by 3 names
- Both names comprise of fifteen letters
- Booth ran from the theater and was caught in the warehouse
- Oswald ran from the warehouse and was caught in a theater
