There are weird similarities between Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy. * 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 shot in the back of the head in the presence of their wives. * Lincoln was shot in the Ford Theatre. Kennedy was shot in a Lincoln, made by Ford * Both wives lost their children while living in the White House. *Both Presidents were shot on a Friday. * Lincoln's secretary was named Kennedy. * 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. * 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.
A month before Lincoln was assassinated he was in Monroe Maryland, a month before Kennedy was assassinated he was in Marylin Monroe. *sorry couldn't help it there*
The other things are eerily similar.

hahahah. I have heard that before. Except for the one you threw in.
Obviously it is a bit eerie like you said the likeness. I also heard that Lincoln's secretary was Kennedy and that Kennedy's secretary was Lincoln that doesn't seem to be on your list. But I have read this before and it is ironically close.

That gets talked about all the time. I dont really know what to say about it. The likenesses check out. Some people have suggested its not all coincidence some feel that drawing parts of the similarities are far fetched, I would say that some of them are a bit reaching but most are strange even bizarre coincidence. I dont find it some disruption in the universal force though. ;D
It is interesting how much likeness Kennedy and Lincoln had though.

Was Lincolns' (grand?)-father a Security & Exchange criminal, too?  I was going to mention the Kennedy secretary, too but, I was beaten like an old rug. |

Some more eerie coincedences between Kennedy and Lincoln: John Wikes Booth, who killed Lincoln, was born in 1839. Lee Harvey Oswald, who killed Kennedy, was born in 1939. Both assassians were known by three names, each set of which is comprised of 15 letters.

Here was something one of my friends e-mailed me a while back that fits the topic:
A computer error gave two women in America called Patricia the same social security number. When the two women were brought together in an office to rectify the blunder they discovered that
They had both been born with the names Patricia Ann Campbell
Both of their fathers were called Robert Campbell
Their birthdays were on 13th March 1941
They had both married military men in the year 1959 (within eleven days of each other)
They each had two children aged 19 and 21
They both had an interest in oil painting
Both had studied cosmetics
Both had worked as book-keepers.

That can freak them all out. Obviously the particulars about careers interests ages of children, marrying military men and same ages of kids.
The name and name of the fathers matching doesn't surprise me because that's probably why they got the same social security number. I would suppose that there was date of birth 13 of March 1941 child girl name Patrica Ann Campbell father Robert. Someone could have easily thought they were the same person and issued the same social security number.
The rest of that is strangely unexplainable though.
