    I know this has nothing to do with the Q but I thought you would like to see this anyway... I got it in an email.

    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 in Marilyn Monroe.

    Creepy huh? Send this to as many people as you can, cause,
    hey, this
    is
    one history lesson people don't mind reading!

    I am pretty sure people would be another post-apocalyptic frenzy.

    Or it would just be on this stupid website taht won't just regard coincidences as coincidences.

    It would probably have made no difference.
    Al Queda like their symbolism, but I don't thik that they dig that deep into American history.
