SUCH CREEPY SIMILARITIES
By Ng Tze Yong
Have a History teacher explain this - if they can.
Mr Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846; Mr John F Kennedy in 1946. Mr Lincoln was elected President in 1860; Mr Kennedy in 1960.
Both were particularly concerned with civil rights and both were shot in the head on Friday.
Mr Lincoln's secretary was named Kennedy. Mr Kennedy's secretary was named Lincoln. Both presidents were assasinated by Southerners and succeeded by Southerners named Johnson.
Mr Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Mr Lincoln, was born in 1808. Mr Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Mr Kennedy, was born in 1908.
John Wilkes Booth, who assasinated Mr Lincoln, was born in 1839. Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Mr Kennedy, was born in 1939.
Both assassin' names have 15 letters. Both men were also assassinated before their trials.
And here's the kicker: a week before Mr Lincoln was shot, he was in Monroe, Maryland. A week before Kennedy was shot, he was with Marilyn Monroe.
