Lincoln & JFK

Did you ever notice all the weird coincidences between Abraham Lincoln and John Fizgerald Kennedy? I found them in a book called "PICK ME UP" (which BTW, is not a chapter book or anything, just random really interesting and also a bit funny and mysterious facts)

Anyway,

These are the weirdest so-called 'coincidences' that I learned:

Abe was elected to Congress in 1846
John was elected to Congress 1946


Lincoln and Kennedy both have 7 letters in them

Both shot in the Head


Abe was elected president in 1860
John was elected president in 1960

Both killed by Southerners 

Both of their wives lost their children in the White House


Both where shot on a Friday

Both concerned with Civil Rights 

Lincoln's secretary's name was Kennedy, who warned him not to go to the theatre
Kennedy's secretary's name was Lincoln, who warned him not to go to Dallas

John Wilkes Booth was born in 1839
Lee Harvey Oswald was born in 1939

Both murders where known by their three names, and both had 15 letters in all

Booth and Oswald where assassinated before their trials


Booth ran from a theatre and was caught in a warehouse
Oswald ran from a warehouse and was caught in a theatre


WEIRD ISN'T IT? MAYBE IT'S NO COINCIDENCE!
