post ur wierd stories and coincidences...... let me start...[br]Posted on: December 10, 2007, 04:24:17 PM_________________________________________________H ave 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.

A case of faulty presentation of facts to find a "cosmic connection" between the two presidents.

Below is culled from an article by By Kevin T. Kilty:

Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846
John F Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946

Obviously people might think that both men entering politics 100 years apart, and then being elected president also 100 years apart is a great coincidence. However, when two people are separated by about X years in history, it seems very likely, in fact more likely than not, that major milestones in their lives are separated by roughly the same increment as well. This is entirely expected. At least it is more expected than their being elected to congress 100 years apart, and being elected president 150 years apart, because one of them would have been in congress as long as Strom Thurmond. The parallel in political careers diverges here, for Kennedy won a Senate seat in 1952, while Lincoln lost his Senate bid in 1858.

Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860
John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960

This is, of course, no more remarkable than two victims of assassination being elected 96 years apart or 104. One hundred is just such a nice, round number that people see extreme significance in it--much like they did the year 2000, for instance. There are many people who have been elected president 100 years apart. And each being assassinated doesn't deepen this coincidence one iota, because we chose two assassinated leaders and then found that by coincidence they were elected 100 years apart.


The names Lincoln and Kennedy each contain seven letters

OK, and I might add that their successor's names also had 7 letters. Perhaps seven letter last names are quite common.


Both were particularly concerned with civil rights

It would be more amazing if they hadn't been concerned with civil rights, because civil rights were THE SOCIAL CONCERNS of the day in both instances. During both of these time periods the country was nearly torn to pieces over the issue. In fact, to characterize the Lincoln Presidency as being "particularly concerned with civil rights" seems a comic understatement.

Both wives lost their children while living in the White House

This is a muddied statement that ought to read "Both their wives lost a child while living in the White House." In fact the Lincoln's lost three of their four children before the children reached adulthood. The death of children was not uncommon at the time. I am unable to find information regarding the Kennedy child, but I recall this being a miscarriage, which is not only surprisingly common, but makes the two losses not really comparable.

Both presidents foresaw their own deaths.

Lincoln told a guard on the day he was assassinated that there were "men who want to take my life...And I have no doubt they will do it...If it is to be done, it is impossible to prevent."

A few hours before he was felled by Oswald's bullets, Kennedy said to his wife, Jacqueline, and Ken O'Donnell, his personal advisor: "If someone wants to shoot me from a window with a rifle, nobody can stop it, so why worry about it?"

Both Presidents were shot on a Friday

Lincoln was actually shot on Thursday and died on Friday, whereas Kennedy was shot and died on Friday. Once again the full story has not quite the parallel that the simple story suggests.

Both Presidents were shot in the head

When someone is trying to kill a person, they will likely shoot them in the head. It is more effective than shooting them in the leg, for instance. So this is entirely expected.

Lincoln's secretary was named Kennedy
Kennedy's secretary was named Lincoln

This is quite difficult to analyze. How many secretaries and assistants did each have? Did Kennedy choose Lincoln as secretary from a pool of applicants because of his name? Sometimes coincidence is not all it seems. In fact, Robert Lincoln the eldest son of Abraham Lincoln, was saved from a nasty accident by J. Wilkes Booth's brother. Yet another cosmic connection?

Lincoln Did NOT Have a Secretary Named Kennedy

Many parallels have been noted between the deaths and lives of Presidents Lincoln and Kennedy and one of the most frequently stated is that Lincoln had a secretary named Kennedy and Kennedy had a secretary named Lincoln. It is often further asserted that each president's secretary advised him not to go to the place he was assassinated.

Lincoln had two secretaries, John J. Nicolay and John M. Hay. They are pictured in the book Dear Mr. Lincoln, Letters to the President, by Harold Holzer. There is no mention that either of these secretaries was concerned about Mr. Lincoln's safety.

I think I have tracked down the source of this error, which has been widely quoted, apparently since 1964. Author Jim Bishop researched a book in the fall of 1963 called A Day in the Life of President Kennedy. It was published in early 1964. At the end of the paperback edition of the book he listed several parallels between the lives and deaths of Presidents Lincoln and Kennedy. In particular, he noted that:

When he became president, in 1861, one of the persons most worried about his safety was John Kennedy, Superintendent of Police in New York.

When he became president in 1961, one of the persons most worried about his safety was Evelyn Lincoln, his personal secretary."

While these statements may be factually correct, as early as July 21, 1964, a leaflet published by Abingdon Church in Glouscester, Virginia, reported that:

Lincoln's secretary, Kennedy by name, advised him not to go to the theater. Kennedy's secretary, Lincoln by name, advised him not to go to Dallas.

This error has survived more than 30 years! For example, the Tucker [Georgia] Times published a blurb in March 1997, under the title "The Kennedy-Lincoln Coincidence" which also claimed:

Kennedy's secretary was named Lincoln. Lincoln's secretary was named Kennedy. Both secretaries advised their presidents not to go to the places where they were assassinated.

A while back, a list of "Kennedy-Lincoln Parallels" also made the rounds on the Internet via e-mail. This list included the same error and was made part of several web sites and so the mistake continues to be propagated. However, do not be fooled,

Lincoln Did NOT Have a Secretary Named Kennedy

Both were assassinated by Southerners

J. Wilkes Booth was born in Maryland. I suppose that if one were trying to force a cosmic connection, then Maryland might pass muster as a southern state. It was in the Union, however. The best a person could argue is that Wilkes was a southern sympathizer - maybe.

Both were succeeded by Southerners named Johnson

OK, granted; but it isn't as though each man having a southerner as Vice President was a random occurrence. Each was a northern politician trying to win an election by choosing a southern running mate. Things that people do by design are not coincidences - and it isn't as though Johnson is a strange last name.

Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln, was born in 1808
Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908

There is that 100 year separation again.


John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln, was born in 1839
Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born in 1939

They are trying for the 100 year thing again! It didn't work this time, though. Booth was actually born in 1838. What I found interesting about researching Lee Harvey Oswald's age is the misinformation regarding it in web documents.


Both assassins were known by their three names

A biography of Booth that I found on the world wide web suggested that he was known as J. Wilkes Booth. Killers are often known by their full (three) names and this may be applied to each after the fact.


Both names are composed of fifteen letters

Let us suppose that the length of a name is a random variable, where the probability of very long or very short names is small and the expected length is about 5 letters. Then, the distribution of the summed lengths of three names is going to be sharply peaked at 15 letters.


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

Well, I could explain this coincidence as resulting from the sheer number of theatres and warehouses, but the story of Booth's escape is so complex that to characterize it as "ran from a theatre and was caught in a warehouse" skirts the suburbs of misrepresentation. Booth was ultimately caught in a tobacco shed on a farm, which hardly qualifies as a warehouse.

Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials

Booth died in a gun battle, so reports of his assassination are highly exaggerated.

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

Marilyn Monroe died over one year before Kennedy's assassination. There is no Monroe, Maryland known to the U.S. Post Office at least. Perhaps there was in 1865.

IRAQ -- VERY INTERESTING -- DID YOU KNOW THAT...



1. The garden of Eden was in Iraq.

2. Mesopotamia which is now Iraq was the cradle of civilization!

3. Noah built the ark in Iraq.

4. The Tower of Babel was in Iraq

5. Abraham was from Ur, which is in Southern Iraq!

6. Isaac's wife Rebekah is from Nahor which is in Iraq.

7. Jacob met Rachel in Iraq.

8. Jonah preached in Nineveh - which is in Iraq.

9. Assyria which is in Iraq conquered the ten tribes of Israel.

10. Amos cried out in Iraq!

11. Babylon which is in Iraq destroyed Jerusalem.

12. Daniel was in the lion's den in Iraq!

13. The 3 Hebrew children were in the fire in Iraq (that's good news to know that JESUS has been in Iraq too as the 4th person in the fiery furnace!)

14. Belshazzar, the King of Babylon saw the "writing on the wall" in Iraq. (which hopefully Saddam will too!)

15. Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon, carried the Jews captive into Iraq.

16. Ezekiel preached in Iraq.

17. The wise men were from Iraq. (where are the "wise" men today?)

19. The "Empire of Man" described in Revelation is called Babylon which was a city in Iraq!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And you have probably seen this one. Israel is the nation most often mentioned in the Bible. But do you know which nation is second? It is Iraq! However, that is not the name that is used in the Bible. The names used in the Bible are Babylon, Land of Shinar, and Mesopotamia. The word Mesopotamia means between the two rivers, more exactly between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. The name Iraq, means country with deep roots. Indeed Iraq is a country with deep roots and is a very significant country in the Bible. Here's why.



* Eden was in Iraq--Genesis 2:10-14

* Adam &Eve were created in Iraq--Genesis 2:7-8

* Satan made his first recorded appearance in Iraq--Genesis 3:1-6

* Isaac's bride came from Iraq--Genesis 24:3-4 &10

* Jacob spent 20 years in Iraq--Genesis 27:42-45 &31:38

* The first world Empire was in Iraq--Daniel 1:1-2 &2:36-38

* The greatest revival in history was in a city in Iraq--Jonah 3

* The events of the book of Esther took place in Iraq--Esther

* The book of Nahum was a prophecy against a city in Iraq--Nahum

* The book or Revelation has prophecies against Babylon, which was the old name for the nation of Iraq--Revelation 17 &18
