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

Both names are composed of fifteen letters.

Now hang on to your seat.

Lincoln was shot at the theater named '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.

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.

Creepy huh?

Thats just Creepy .. and BTW awesome research ..

hmmm....very interesting

All that info has been around since it happened, doesn't take much research for younger people to find. So really nothing new to the older people.

bingo

it has even been posted here before

still crazy though....

to make it even eerier, the last line has to be corrected to...."a week before Kennedy was shot he was in Marylin Monroe.

haha^^^

this has been around for ever!

crazy.

ah.. wat a trip.

That little deal is like saying...

My grandma died tripping on my toy Yoda
My grandpa died on a trip in his Toyota

pretty much worthless

also:
John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln, was born in 1839.
Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born in 1939.
John Wilkes Booth was born on May 10, 1838
Lee Harvey Oswald was born on October 18, 1939

Both were particularly concerned with civil rights.
Saying that Lincoln and Kennedy were both "particularly concerned with civil rights" is like saying that Woodrow Wilson and Franklin Roosevelt were both "particularly concerned with war," or that Herbert Hoover and Ronald Reagan were both "particularly concerned with economics." Neither Lincoln nor Kennedy evinced a "particular interest" in civil rights, and to all appearances, both would willingly have maintained the racial status quo had events beyond their control not forced their hands.

Both Presidents were shot in the head.
The only two types of shots which reasonably assure a dead victim are chest shots and head shots.

Both were assassinated by Southerners.
Although John Wilkes Booth was undeniably a Southern sympathizer, he was born in Maryland, which was apart of the Union States during the civil war.

Both assassins were known by their three names.
John Wilkes Booth was often billed as "J. Wilkes Booth" or simply "John Wilkes" (primarily to distinguish himself from his father and brother -- both named Junius -- and his brother Edwin, all three of whom were also actors), and as a prominent actor, his name was already familiar to the general public at the time of Lincoln's assassination. Lee Oswald was generally referred to as "Lee" (not "Lee Harvey") before Kennedy's assassination and was unknown to the general public until his arrest; the common usage of his full name only came about after the assassination because his habitual employment of false names (including several variations on his real name) and his possession of forged identification cards made it difficult for the Dallas police to identify him

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 shot Lincoln in a theatre of the type where live stage shows are held, then fled across state lines before being trapped and killed in a tobacco shed several days later.
Oswald shot Kennedy from (not in) a textbook warehouse, then remained in Dallas and was caught and taken alive in a movie theater a little over an hour later.

A week before Lincoln was shot, he was in Monroe, Maryland
A week before Kennedy was shot, he was with Marilyn Monroe.
Marilyn Monroe died well over a year before Kennedy's assassination. So he could not have been with her a week before.
:come:
