History  Mystery


Have 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.  
 
 
WHO  FIGURED THIS OUT?

INCREDIBLE    
1)  Fold a    NEW    $20  bill in half...
2)  Fold again, taking care to fold it exactly as  below

3)  Fold the other end, exactly as  before 

 
4)  Now, simply turn it  over...

What  a coincidence! A simple geometric fold creates a  catastrophic premonition printed on all $20  bills!!!

COINCIDENCE?

As  if that wasn't enough...
Here  is what you've seen...

Firstly  The  Pentagon on  fire...

Then The Twin Towers.

...And  now .. look at this!

TRIPLE  COINCIDENCE ON A SIMPLE $20  BILL
Disaster  (Pentagon)
Disaster  ( Twin Towers )
Disaster  (Osama)???

It  gets even better ... 9 + 11 = ($)20!

Creepy  huh?
Hey,  this is one history lesson most people probably  will  not  mind  reading!
