Histroy Lesson - Lincoln & Kennedy

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

I got the following mail forwarded by one of my friends. I am

sharing it with you all.

 

====================================

History Lesson

--------------

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.

 

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?

 

====================================

When I forwarded this mail to our good friend Sreeram Srinivas ji, I

got a reply containing the following note -

 

==>

Similar event comparison are there for Napoleon Bonaparte & Adolf

Hitler....they had a difference of 169 years in terms of their raise

and fall....and many other historical events...between the two.......

A google search would reveal many such information.......

 

The list of events in Lincolns life can be found through google

search...and we can make it as a case study....Lincoln life can be

excellent case study for yearly charts...for his fortunes varied

drastically in various years...and has many such events....which are

historically documented....like his winning Presidential elections,

he was threatened with life...., so he had to go to Washington

incognito, for the oath taking ceremony...there on to become a

legend....figure.... How can a man with so many failures...such a

weak planetary placements...rise to such a high post.....only

astrology can explain it successfully......losing his mother at 6

yrs, father at 10 yrs,.........fought elections in an era where there

was NO Television or telephone....won the president election..etc...

<==

 

Of course - interactions improves our knowledge and

understanding...

Love,

Sreenadh
