List of coincidences between the assasinations of President Lincoln and Kennedy

I’m doing a little research on a completely unrelated topic, but I thought this was just weird. The following has been ripped from the Wikipedia page, but I thought I’d share it just to show you how people think too long, and too hard, about many things. Here are the highlights.

  • Both presidents were elected to the presidency in ‘60.
  • Both presidents were elected to the House of Representatives in ‘46.
  • Both were runners-up for the party’s nomination for vice-president in ‘56.
  • Both presidents’ assassins were born in ‘39.
  • Both successors were Southern Democrats named Johnson born in ‘08.
  • Both presidents were shot in the head.
  • Both presidents were shot on a Friday.
  • Lincoln was shot at Ford’s Theatre. Kennedy was shot in a Ford car; a Lincoln limousine.
  • Lincoln had a secretary named Kennedy who told him not to go to the theatre. Kennedy had a secretary named Evelyn Lincoln (whose husband Harold’s nickname was Abe), and she warned him not to go to Dallas.
  • Both Oswald and Booth were assassinated before they could be put on trial.
  • Lincoln and Kennedy each have 7 letters.
  • John Wilkes Booth and Lee Harvey Oswald each have 15 letters.
  • There are 6 letters in each Johnson’s first name.
  • Booth shot Lincoln in a theatre and hid in a warehouse, while Oswald shot Kennedy in a warehouse and hid in a theatre.

Ok, so its a light day - and I had nothing else to post. Sue me.
